Illegals Take Over Churches - America Next?

Paul Belien of the Brussles Journal has had a series of articles dealing with Immigrants, Muslims and the European Church. Interesting developments have begun to take place. It’s almost like the blending of Christian and Muslim religions into one place of worship. Or perhaps the Muslims plan on taking them over in the near future.

The first article is the “Blegian Church Organizes Illegal Immigrants“.

The illegal immigrants have been told that they are safe in the churches because the authorities will refrain from entering the buildings out of respect for the Catholic Church. It is strange that the Church should insinuate that there is some type of persecution considering that the Belgian authorities never organize searches for illegal immigrants, and hardly ever expel even criminals.

Considering that Belgium has the most lenient policy toward illegals it seems odd.

Belgium has one of the most hospitable policies towards immigrants in Europe. Illegal immigrants are hardly ever expelled. Six years ago the government issued a collective amnesty for illegal immigrants, granting everyone who could prove they had lived in the country for five years the right to ???regularise??? their status and stay. Over 50,000 did so.

It angers many of the Catholics that such a stand is being taken (for whatever motive) on this issue when other critical issues are neglected.

For Catholic believers the situation is all the more painful as the same Bishops have never bothered to take any action to change, let alone, protest Belgium???s legislation regarding abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage and gay adoption. On the contrary, when a Catholic organization asked for permission to organize a Mass against the impending euthanasia legislation in Brussels Cathedral on 2 March 2002, the use of the Cathedral was prohibited by Cardinal Danneels because it was feared that (Catholic) politicians of the anti-immigration Vlaams Belang party would attend.

In his second article “Allah Takes Over Catholic Church” he reveals how the Bishops of Belgian Churches have now attempted to put on pressure authorities to allow the Muslim immigrant squatters to stay in the country.

The squatters are living in the churches. “Church occupations” by illegal immigrants have been going on for a number of years in Belgium. They are not really “occupations” because the Bishops condone the actions and actively support them. Chris Gillibrand visited a number of Brussels churches to take these pictures.

In his third article “Muhammad Takes Over Protestant Church” shows that it just isn’t the Catholics who have sold out but also the Protestant churches.

A German reader informs us that it is not just the Catholic Church that has its quislings selling out to the Muslims. On Palm Sunday (9 April) a Protestant church in Bochum/Germany celebrated Muhammad???s birthday. The church invited the local Turkish community and the Turkish Consul, Munis Dirik, to attend the service. A Turkish music band played sufi music during the service, in which Protestants and Muslims joined together in honour of Muhammad.

In his final article (maybe) “Bishops in Ever Deeper Pickly over Support for Illegal Aliens” he notes that there is a division in the Church along leftists and conservatives.

Left-wing Belgian priests have been opening up Belgian churches for illegal immigrants for a number of years. While the controversial actions are opposed by many conservative Catholics and ordinary people, the Bishops officially support them. Father Jacques ???t Serstevens, the dean of the parishes of the Brussels boroughs Elsene and Etterbeek, however, said that he is opposed to the church occupations:

On the surface it might be argued that they are trying to help and posible bring harmony or conversion. Either way, it is a temporary foothold for the illegals in the country.

The crisis between the Catholic Church and the government is escalating in Belgium. So far over 30 Belgian churches have been occupied by illegal immigrants or so-called ???sans papiers??? (???people without papers??? [=staying permits]). The latest church taken over by squatters is the Saint Susanna Church in the Brussels borough of Schaarbeek, where a group of thirty women with small children have installed themselves. They were invited in by the local parish priest.

Will this be the example now for the American Catholic and Protestant churches? It is a real possibility and may be more wide spread than currently known publicly. What the churches don’t realize (or do they?) is that they are fostering the end to Western civilization. They have in the past years signaled the end of truth and that the difference stems from the leftist bishops in contrast to the Conservatives that still remain. Don’t be surprised if churches in America follow suit in leftist churches if there should be a meaningful crackdown on illegals in the United States.
