Closing of Catholic Churches and Catholic Church to Mosque conversions

#1

… from the article "The Diocese of Buffalo, which comprises eight counties in western New York, has not been without controversy in recent years. In 2022, a historic, 164-year-old church in the diocese was sold to a Muslim group for use as a mosque for $250,000 after refusing proposals to reuse it as a church. The sale was criticized by laity for allegedly being in violation of the 1983 Code of Canon Law.

St. Gerard’s Roman Catholic Church was similarly sold in 2017 and converted to a mosque."

I’ve not read the article, but there are ancient canons to the effect that bishops may NOT alienate the property of the Church.

Real signs of the Inside Takeover! Let’s hope local communities keep a lookout & manage their own affairs!! :wink:

… if that is the case then either the “ancient canons” are being intentionally violated or those reports of churches being sold and converted to Mosques are false.
