That seems to be the only commandment that some Catholics apparently think is important:
Some of the faithful hoping to practice their Christianity at the church of St. Anthony in Ventimiglia were surprised when they were told by Caritas volunteers they couldn’t recite the rosary and would instead have to pray in silence out of respect to migrants who are living there.
Caritas is ostensibly a Catholic charity, although much of its resources are spent on facilitating mass migration to Europe; the organisation even boasts that it contributes to and seeks to influence European Union (EU) “asylum” policies. Caritas reports that they have been distributing 600 meals a day to migrants in Ventimiglia.
After one of the female parishioners requested that the migrants be taken to another church so that she could recite the rosary, the parish priest, Don Rito, appeared and accompanied her and the other visitors to another church.
The Northern Italian town of 55,000 people has recently been overwhelmed with hundreds of migrants. More than 50 Africans have been crossing into Ventimiglia every day, hoping that from there they will be able to enter France.
Go here to read the rest. Typical. Catholics are always offending people with public displays of their religion. I recall this one Fellow that offended so many people with public displays of religion that He ended up nailed to a Cross. Just, who did He think He was? Oh, yeah.
I came across this story yesterday on Spiritdaily blog.
This story reminds me of a certain Pope who asked an alter boy if his “hands were stuck,” in the manner befitting an alter boy or any good Catholic who is devoted to God and service therein.
Europe is falling apart but it’s not over until Our Lady sings her song of victory.
Renewal and resurgence in the Holy Catholic Church is coming. Time will prove it so.
God’s timing!
WTH! To pray the rosary out loud en masse is powerful pray and what Our Lady has asked. I am assuming St. Anthony’s is still a consecrated church where Mass is celebrated or is that offensive too? I’m visiting my oldest son in San Francisco and attend Mass in a Chinese and a French church. There is always at least one or more homeless person in a back pew. It seems that as long the homeless is respectful he or she can stay there during the open hours. No problem, the services go on as scheduled.
I would say that the St. Anthony parishioners should withhold offerings until they can pray aloud, but this lefty organization is funded most likely by large amounts of money from sources that are not Catholic. We contribute to fewer and fewer second collections because of the way the receiving groups spend the money.
I wonder if European mosques have sleeping mats for the new refugees? I doubt it. Try interrupting their prayers.
