Crosses in Italian Cemetery Covered to Avoid Offence to Other Religions
Breitbart ^ | April 9, 2019 | Chris Tomlinson

Posted on 04/09/2019 5:56:49 PM PDT by ebb tide

The crosses on graves in an Italian cemetery in Pieve di Cento have been covered with black cloth so as not to offend those who may come from another religion.

The cemetery, which is located in Bologna in a town of around 7,000 people, has also installed motorised blackout curtains in a local chapel following renovations to hide Roman Catholic symbols during ceremonies involving other denominations, Il Giornale reports.

Following the reports of the coverings of the symbols, many have expressed criticism including Forza Italia (Forward Italy) deputy Galeazzo Bignami who denounced the move saying those looking not to offend were disrespecting Christian values and he added, “even more so the memory of our dead, hiding them behind ‘motorised tents’ in a cemetery to avoid offending other religions.”

They’re going to stop praying in the middle of the street to ‘avoid offending’ other religions too, right?

First thing satanists do when they get the chance is to remove Crucifixes.

Just sayin.

Eventually those crosses won’t just be covered. They will be removed. Mustn’t offend a Muslim under any conditions, ever.

Goodbye, Europe.

At my alma mater Occidental College, which was founded by Presbyterians, they removed the crucifix from the campus chapel.

The article bends over backwards to keep those “other religions” plural. But I don’t remember Jews or Buddhists or Hindus ever complaining about this sort of thing.

So I wonder who it could be. /s

I’m sick, and tired of the celebration of cowardice such as the article, and the basis of the article.

1, Succumbing to Muslims
2, Afraid to identify THE SPECIFIC “religion” they have succumbed to.

Cowards. They’d rather roll over, and kick the can down the road until it’s too late than to tell the specific religion to stuff it.

Christians unite, and kick the Muslims out OF YOUR COUNTRY.

This in the cradle of Catholicism. What an example of how far the decay in Western Civilization has advanced.
