Islamic Group Gets OK to Cut Crosses off NY Church
SYRACUSE, N.Y. April 3, 2014 (AP)

BLESSED BE GOD, BLESSED BE HIS HOLY NAME

A city board on Thursday gave a Muslim group the go-ahead to remove six crosses from the roof and spires of a century-old former Catholic church so the now-vacant Gothic structure can be used as a mosque.

More than 200 people had signed an online petition calling on the Syracuse Landmark Preservation Board to deny an application by North Side Learning Center, the church's new owner, to remove the crosses and build a six-foot chain-link fence.

Before the vote to allow the church alterations, Chairman Don Radke said the board cannot interfere with a decision that involves religious freedom.

About a dozen people who spoke at the meeting were evenly divided for and against the church conversion, The Post-Standard reported.

Petition-signers, who included some local residents and former church parishioners, had argued that the former Holy Trinity Catholic Church was a neighborhood landmark built by German immigrants 100 years ago and removing the crosses would deface the architecture.

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse closed the church in 2010 and merged the parish with that of St. John the Baptist because of a declining congregation as population shifted from the city to suburbs. The North Side Learning Center, a nonprofit group that provides literacy programs for immigrants, bought the church and its school and rectory for $150,000 in December.

Yusuf Soule, the center's director, has been the public point-person for the mosque effort. He said the crosses must be removed because the Islamic faith prohibits worship of idols and symbols.

A report by the nonprofit Onondaga Citizens League last summer said more than 7,200 refugees have resettled in the Syracuse area over the past 10 years, with the majority from Burma, Bhutan and Somalia.

Likely, the church was deconsecrated, so I don't think there is any sin involved in selling it off, whether to Muslims or anyone else.

Nevertheless, it is a great shame.

That's when you know we have the TRUE FAITH.

Why wouldn't the NO sell this to Traditionalists?  
If everything is all fair and equal as they would say.
I am sure you would have found a Traditional group to purchase this for that price.

But noooo... the NO will always hate Tradition because they are anti-Tradition.
And if they can get all of Tradition to accept and validate anti-Tradition, then they make anti-Tradition look like it's really the Truth.

But Ha!
No matter what they do, the TRUTH is Tradition!

This reminds me of a time when I was assisting Father with a funeral at the San Fernando Mission cemetery.   We were setting up the alter and this novous ordo 'nun' walks up in a blue skirt with the hem at her knees.  We both looked at her, and she says, "you can't use the altar, use that table over there."  She had a look on her face that reminded me of a drill instructor.  As she was staring us down, I turned to Father and said, "we wouldn't want to get anything holy on it."  She stormed off, I had to laugh under my breath.
