Catholic ping!
Someone should send the Cardinal a Bible.
Wow. This must be one of the worst dioceses ever.
They will now become Mosques.

I think I see the problem.........
Don’t be surprised if Bergoglo elevates Ackermann to the College of Cardinals at the next conclave.
The heretics (Wuerl, Cupich, Tobin, Farrell, Ackermann, Mark, Kasper, Maradiaga, etc.) are falling all over themselves, trying to curry favor from the heretic in the papal chair.
You do a disservice by abbreviating your source.
Why do you do that?
Costs a lot to retrofit those churches with onion domes.
Good article by Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict XVI.
A true prophet is he.
Once Germany became one country again, Merkel’s pals turned some of the most beautiful churches I ever saw into Gasthaus’s. They became beer halls. I could not believe it.
The world’s socialists and progressives are working everywhere to destroy Christianity. When this country failed to stand up to Muslims killing some of the world’s oldest Christians who date back to Paul’s travels-I knew we had trash almost everywhere in Gov.
Not according to the Bergoglio.

Europe is now a mission field.
The Christian West was never completely Christianized, but you could perceive a forward motion. Its Christian roots and partially-Christianized view of life and humanity were what made it distinct from the rest of the world. Since it was only partially Christianized, it didn’t save it from every barbarity, and its progress was long and slow with frequent back-tracking.
But even the church seems to have abandoned the faith, which closes the door to any hope. That is the problem. It isn’t that Europe has abandoned Christ, but that the European church seems to have abandoned him. Which means that it will have to be evangelized all over again.
I visited Trier back in the 1960s, when I was fascinated by touring Europe, especially the castles and cathedrals. I no longer remember all the details, but it was a beautiful place. And it has a special place in the spread of Christianity through Europe.
What a dreadful business.
May as well shut it down. They have let the islams take over with their absolute filth and evil.
>Which means that it will have to be evangelized all over again.
No. Just keep evil at bay and judge not by belief if it is good and harms none. islam must be defeated, but it won’t be by faith...just common sense...if the retards don’t overwhelm us first.
I was there in 1971. I remember a restaurant called The Schieffer Keller, the Roman ruins (Porta Nigra), and drinking Bitburger pils (Bitte ein Bit, as the ads would say). I just recently found out Carl Marx (spit) lived there.
I need to make a trip back there to see the changes.
I recall around 1958 my parents took us to visit Salzburg, Austria. We walked down all those steps from the hill/mountain. My father recalled that from WWII plus Dachau. I will never forget our trip to Dachau. Sounds like you saw the beauty of those cathedrals. The last time I saw Germany was after Vietnam. I took leave in Christmas 69 from Ft Bragg to see my parents. That was the last time there was still 4 marks to the $.
True.
They apparently are making way for them.
