Italian Archbishop Calling for Construction of Mosque
Church Militant ^ | 3/11/16 | Julianna Freitag

Posted on 03/14/2016 6:22:13 PM PDT by marshmallow

The archbishop of Bologna, Italy is calling for the construction of a mosque in the city.

At a conference last week organized by the local Muslim community, Abp. Matteo Maria Zuppi, recently appointed to head the archdiocese, seized the opportunity to express his sympathy towards the Muslim community by calling for a mosque to be built in Bologna.

He also asked for the accommodation of Muslim festivities in Italian schools. Quoting Cdl. Angelo Scola, archbishop of Milan - a cleric with similar sympathies - Zuppi said, "I really think it's time for a mosque in Bologna. Some people think otherwise but they are wrong."

"I also wish Islamic celebrations to be welcomed in schools," he added, "as already requested by archbishop of Milan Angelo Scola."

I’m a Protestant Christian and am active in our church. I’m growing more and more disillusioned with organized religion, TBH. My minister (and one before) have been morally ambiguous and preaching ‘relativity’. There are only a couple of reasons I stay......but, without those reasons, I’d be out the door.

OMG I am Catholic and I find this disturbing. Christians being slaughtered all over the world and this is what the Archbishop wants in his area?

The end of times must be near. The whole world is gone mad I tell ya!

Those same animals have probably been videoed in their black uniforms as soldiers of murderous sexual degenerate Mohamhead. On yeah, waving their little black flag with their magic words on it.

This madness has a precedent:

There were no Catholic/Christian images portrayed that night: just plugs for junk science/politics of the U.N.'s global warming hoax.

I wonder how Pope Urban II would have handled this?

Pope Urban II was a Catholic, not a Jesuit.

The Gates of Hell may not prevail against the Church, but people like this want to take all the way to overtime.

“calling for a mosque to be built in Bologna”

Somebody please tell the AB that his idea is “a bunch of Bologna”!!!

Does he somehow imagine this would be Christ’s version of “turning the other cheek”?

By the way....My fellow FReepers are slipping, having not punned this by now...

“disillusioned with organized religion”

Please focus on the teachings and not the errors of humans.

The Church which cannot be restrained by the Fates of Hell is the spiritual one Jesus is still building, not the opne in Rome.

Why not just give the muzzles your church. Obviously you are using it much.
