There are empty churches because more and more French are becoming anti-theist socialists.
Will the idiots finally become outraged when the Muslims take all their welfare funds?
Barring a miracle I think the battle for christanity in Europe is lost. The church should be salvaging and abandoning the churches, and selling the land (not to the muslims). Considering a hostile climate, low birth rates among native catholics, and the an increasingly hostile presence in Europe both political and otherwise the Holy See itself may have to be moved in fifty years or less.
It is a retreat and there isn’t a nice way to dress it up. The church can’t fight back now due to the political climate and when it finally has to it will lose in Europe. All they can hope to do is wait for the muslims to kill eachother and begin to expand again.
