Monsignor Raffaele Nogaro, bishop emeritus of Caserta, comes right out and says it. He'd be willing to “turn all the churches into mosques if it were useful to the cause and if it allowed us to save the lives of men and women.”
Let that sink in. A Roman Catholic bishop would rather see all of Italy's churches become mosques than stop massive Muslim immigration into his country. All in the name of charity, of course, but is charity the virtue we're dealing with or some other thing?
Imagine, for a moment, that the immigrants from Africa and the Middle East were Salvini supporters or even worse, Latin Mass Catholics. Would Nogaro be so keen to take them in? Perhaps it's just me, but I doubt it.
Again, picture Nogaro's horror at the prospect of millions of National Socialists flooding into his country. And quite right too, no right thinking person would want to import that kind of hatred into their homeland.
But that's just what Nogaro and other Catholic bishops, including the Pope, are proposing. They're asking us to welcome millions of Muslims into our countries, millions of people who are part of a religion that hates and has been at war with Christianity and the world since its inception.
This isn't charity, it's stupidity and perhaps something worse. Could it be that Nogaro et al are in favor of turning churches into mosques because they don't like the public expression of the Faith, because they hate the culture of the West and want to destroy it?
After all, what better way to get rid of a despised culture than to do away with its cult, its religion, by abolishing this in the public square and turning its sanctuaries into mosques.
Surely Nogaro and his Islamizing no borders friends wouldn't be cultural Marxists and when the call to prayer echoes above St. Peter's, would they answer that over and above the ringing of the racist Angelus?
Then again, perhaps they're betting the fighting monkey on the odds of demographic change going their way.

I think that the bishop has been hitting the sacramental wine cask a bit too hard. Maybe he needs to go on a program and dry out or something?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the shades of Urban II and Charles Martel would be appalled.
ReplyDeleteYes, sadly Parson, the Catholic Church, MY CHURCH, has just as many ding dongs as every other denomination, although I believe you Anglicans have some of the most "colorful" of the lot, we seem to specialize in "Spirit of Vatican 2" idiots
ReplyDeletePrayer attributed to various saints in the church for assorted hierarchy
Oh St Joseph, please open their eyes or close them permenately
I know unattributed and in jest but appropriate
You could be right, LL. Then again, maybe he's just a commie?
ReplyDeleteJIm, I'm in full agreement with you.
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say, Egyptian, "Vatican II? Empty the pew!"
ReplyDeleteThat said, rogue Anglicanism probably wins the prize for the best ecclesiastical clowning around.
Check out an, ahem, Holy Trinity Wall Street Clown Mass, I dare you.

ReplyDeleteMaybe another time Parson, currently out of eye bleach, that stuff has to be cleaned out before an infection sets in you know, the eye irritation is atrocious,
Thank you for your prayers for my son, His name is Anton, or Tony, someday I"ll fill you in on the details, still suffer bouts of depression about it some days, just sort of want to curl up in a ball and cry, but there is work to do on the farm and my family needs me, that and prayer keeps me going
Egyptian, Anton's been and will be in my prayers daily.
