and here in lies the hard, HONEST, truth:
Islam is NOT the Problem.
The real problem is CHRISTIANS turning away from our FAITH and leaving a vacuum.
That’s what happened in Europe. The way to defeat radical Islam, is not to get rid of mosques.
It’s to turn back to Christ. And revive his church!
I’d burn it to the ground before I’d let any muzzies have it.
Ask them this on polygraph machines.1, Do you want to kill non believer of your “ religion”. 2. do you accept sharia diarrhea over the CONSTITUTION of this sovereign NATION ? I am serious as a Saudi attack on the twin Towers.
...Vacant Catholic Church Will Become Mosque on Buffalo’s East Side...
A primary Islamic goal. They want to fly the black flag of death over the White House too.
I the Divine Liturgy of St. Basil the Great, we Orthodox pray:
...Furthermore, we entreat You: remember, O Lord, your holy, catholic and apostolic Church, which is from one end of the universe to the other; give peace to Her whom You have obtained with the precious Blood of your Christ, and preserve this holy house until the end of the world.....
Every consecrated Christian Temple is meant to last until the end of the Universe! Becoming a mosque does not count! It’s better to give it to a new, struggling Orthodox or Catholic mission parish gratis than to sell it to the infidel Muhammadans!!!!
Fr. Butch seems to mean well, but it’s guys like him and his bishop who emptied the church in the first place.
People should not be uncomfortable with having a mosque in this community

This priest is a fool.
Where is Father O’Malley when we really need him?
Only $120,000?
Seems like a few right-minded folks could have covered that.
Chrislam. These sorry excuses are pushing it.
approx. 5 years ago, this church building was supposed to be sold to a Christian congregation in Georgia, who were going to dismantle it, brick-by-brick, and reconstruct it in GA.
I thought it was a fanciful idea when i heard it, and I guess that proved to be the case.
Buffalo was once staunchly Catholic and the town was known as the City of Churches. Catholics are still there, but like any other faith most people have quit going to church. There’s still many churches there, but a lot have been closed and some have been sold to other faiths. This former beautiful Catholic Church is now a Vietnamese Buddhist Temple. I know it well. It sits right across the street from my daughter’s apartment. Every night you can hear Buddhist chanting. They’ve also built an iron fence around to keep out the thieves and punks who used to go on the grounds to drink and trash the place.
On this picture if you can blow it up you can see the Vietnamese writing on top of the main entrance.
