The Archbishop Emeritus of Pompeii, Monsignor Carlo Liberati, recently stated that the growing number of Muslim migrants in Europe and increasing secularism will lead to Islam becoming the continent's foremost religion.
The Bishop Emeritus of Pompeii said: “In 10 years we will all be Muslims because of our stupidity. Italy and Europe live in a pagan and atheist way, they make laws that go against God and they have traditions that are proper of paganism. All of this moral and religious decadence favours Islam."
The retired Archbishop added: “We have a weak Christian faith. The Church nowadays does not work well and seminaries are empty. Parishes are the only thing still standing. We need a true Christian life. All this paves the way to Islam. In addition to this, they have children and we do not. We are in full decline."
In fact, Italy has become a prime destination for Muslim migrants with some 330,000 people from Africa, the Middle East and Asia arriving by sea over the past two years. Many are fleeing war and cross the Mediterranean sea from North Africa via a dangerous boat ride.
The number of Muslims residing in Italy has skyrocketed from 2,000, during the 1970s, to over 2 million at the end of 2015, according to official Italian statistics. Figures also show the country has 5,014,437 foreign nationals residents as of January 1, 2015, an increase of 92,352 on the previous year.
Archbishop Liberati claims the increasing number of new arrivals, including Eastern Europeans and Romanians migrating to the country since the expansion of the European Union, have impinged on the quality of life for native Italians.
He stated: 'We help without delay those coming from outside and we forget many poor and old Italians who are eating from the trash. We need policies that take care of Italians first: our young people and the unemployed. I am a protester. If I were not a priest, I'd be out there demonstrating in the squares. What is the point of so many migrants that instead of thanking for the food we give them, they just throw it, spend hours with their cell phones and even organise riots?"
The Archbishop denounced the fact the Catholic Church donates money to the recent migrants.
He said: 'Giving money to migrants wandering around town is not only wrong, but morally harmful because we encourage their behavior and they get used to that, not mentioning the fact that we already feed them. I think sometimes this creates a beggars' network. I remember that my father went to work very hard as a migrant in Australia so I could go to the seminar. So he has experienced in his own skin the discomfort of poverty and the noble virtue of gratitude.”
The candor of Archbishop Liberati is certainly refreshing in an age of political correctness which is blind to the impact which such large numbers of Muslims are having upon once-Christian Europe.
Even Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Vienna, recently has admitted that he is rethinking his stance on the migrant crisis. The Cardinal stated that an “unbelievable number” of migrants are causing a “feeling of overcrowding” in Austrian society. He pointed to the rise of the anti-immigrant Austrian Freedom Party as a sign that the “country is worried” and said he’s no longer convinced that Austria should accept all refugees.
Cardinal Schönborn highlighted the need for a united European response to deal with the problem of radical Islamic terrorism before it can solve the migrant crisis in a way that will allow the continent to maintain a working relationship with pro-European Arabic and Turkish regimes across the Middle East.
Europe is in a state of political and social crisis precisely because it has decidedly and forcefully shed its Christian heritage and given in to the liberal political philosophies of globalist who insist upon the creation of a new world order.
In the vacuum which the abandonment of Christianity has left in its wake, European culture and society are falling prey to Islamists who have overwhelmed the native populations and have refused to assimilate the values and customs of the very countries who have opened their doors to receive them.
Clearly, the ill-conceived immigration policies of such failed leaders as Andrea Merkel in Germany (perhaps the leading proponent of unrestrained Muslim immigration) have left the European Continent in chaos.
Archbishop Liberati is correct: Europe will become Muslim because of the "stupidity" of its leadership and its citizens in willingly failing to understand the fundamental tenets of Islam which allow no compromise in the religious beliefs and customs which govern all aspects of their social and political lives.
It’s about time that leaders, both religious and civil, begin to speak out against the misguided immigration policies regarding Muslim refugees and develop a strategy to repatriate them to their native countries.
