A Catholic church in Lyon, France, has sold off statues of monks killed by Muslims, for fear they will provoke attacks. The statues, which were to be shown at Saint Louis church, honoured monks who were beheaded by Muslims in Algeria during the 1990s. The Algerian consul in the city responded with “fury” to the statues. The church sold the statues to an institute that hosts a private museum of Catholic artifacts to prevent conflict with local Muslims.
Cardinal Barbarin approved the statues to be placed in the church’s grounds last year. But the more powerful Bishop of Lyon was persuaded by his personal entourage by arguments that the statues may cause Muslims to launch attacks on the works. The Bishop’s aides argued, “Imagine if [someone] unbalanced [were to] to decapitate these statues?”.
They argued that because there is a Salafist mosque very close to the church, such attacks may be likely. As a result of this the Bishop of Lyon decided to sell the statues to a museum.
The church had already delayed the inauguration of the statues to appease the Algerian consulate. They planned for their official launch to happen in the spring of this year. The date was moved to avoid clashing with Algerian Independence Day

Letting them know that we will not put up a fight
As always, people misinterpret what the Church is and what it means. Only the weak leave the Catholic Church. The strong continue to receive the sacraments, pray for better times, and seek out the many parishes that carry out the duties and responsibilities of the one true church.
No, they are held up as men who served the Berber community until they were overtaken by Arab marauders. Since I know some Berber muslims I can tell you that they are good people; they despise the Arabs who invaded their lands and caused tremendous trouble for them. They are not violent people. I should know, I lived next to them for many years.
I’m not sure he’s the anti-Christ. But I’m sure he and a lot of others worship the anti-Christ.
Our culture isn’t worth saving evidently.
OUR culture must find the moral will and spiritual strength to beat back and reverse the Moslem/BLM/Marxist Axis of Anarchy currently flexing its muscle in tearing down America.
Stick a fork in them; Sweden, Germany and much of Western Europe seemed to have surrendered to the Caliphate. Its effete atheistic anti-Christian, anti-God, anti-male culture has brought them at the precipice of Hell on Earth.
Leading the self-purge of the West and its war against Western testosterone are...WOMEN. Whether in Europe or America. Remember, it was Angela Merkel who invited the Moslem "guests" into Europe to be raped, enslaved or slaughtered. And now Hillary may become President.
Is "tolerance" totally out of hand in Europe?

Kick the f&&&&&& muzzies out!
I respect the strong in the Church.
it is just more and more difficult , is all
All you do is bow your head to the winds, receive the sacraments, and pop up again when times are better.
I despise people - like Sean Hannity - who think that getting dunked in Phil Robertson’s backyard pool - is anything like being in communion with God and the one true Church.
And that’s not a put-down of the Robertsons. They have their religion and it is fine with me. Hannity was raised as a very bad Catholic, apparently.
When is enough enough?
Changing the subject a bit, you’ve got White folks marching in the BLM and Islamic parades as if they want to offer support to the folks who have them, their families, and their whole race in their sights.
Talk about your lay down and surrender moment.
I suggest they send the Mulsims honing stones so they can at least have a sharp knife when their Muslim pets behead them.
Religion of Peace alert.
Could this happen in the U.S.?
I'd say the current Pope, and the cardinals that elected him, are also very bad Catholics. Doesn't say much for the leadership of the Catholic church...
I agree. My posts hint at that. We’ve had bad priests before but nothing stands in front of the Eucharist. Nothing.
Is there something in the water in France that makes them surrender monkeys?
Camp of the Saints portrayed an invasion of France by Hindis, not Muslims.
But it is certainly analogous to what is taking place in Europe today.
I wish I did not know they are doing this. Great friends. /s/
He's a loser!
Time to fire him and call Cardinal Ratzinger out of retirement!
BECAUSE they have NO GUNs!!!!!
But, don’t they have rubber bullets? Surely they have protection/s
