Title: Churches sold to Muslims instead of the SSPX
Post by: NaomhAdhamhnan on September 20, 2019, 06:04:19 PM

I remember reading about a case in the UK, I think, where a bishop inserted a clause into a contract, when a church was being sold, to say that the church can be sold to anyone except the SSPX, and they then sold that very church to Muslims.

Does anyone have any examples of this? Cheers.

A closed Catholic church has been purchased by a Muslim cultural group.
The Immaculate Conception B.V.M. Catholic Church property on Emilie Road in Bristol Township was sold last Friday to the United American Muslim Society of Brooklyn, New York for $1,775,000. The United American Muslim Society is the parent corporation for the Turkish American Muslim Cultural Association on Levittown Parkway in Bristol Township.
The church was merged with the Queen of the Universe Parish in 2014 and remained opened as a worship site until January 1. (http://levittownnow.com/2015/12/06/immaculate-conception-b-v-m-church-will-close-as-worship-site/)
Archdiocese of Philadelphia spokesman Ken Gavin told LevittownNow.com Queen of the Universe Father Mike Hennelly “worked with is parish and pastoral councils regarding the future disposition of the property.”
“The new owners of the former Immaculate Conception campus are community neighbors that have been present on the Levittown Parkway since 1991.  They are widely known as people of faith, family, prayer and education in the moral life for their children and the families of Bristol Township,” Gavin said.
The money from the sale of the property will go to pay down a debt total of $963,041.03. Gavin said $704, 997 of the debt belonged to Immaculate Conception and $258,042 belonged to Queen of the Universe. Remaining money will go to parish savings.
The real estate transaction was announced during weekend masses at Queen of the Universe Parish. The announcement was “positively received by parishioners,” Gavin said.
A phone number attached to the new owners of the property was not answered

“During the interview with French radio he gave an example of the transition of a church into a mosque in Clermont-Ferrand, which was welcomed by the local religious community. The church had been abandoned for more than 30 years and the building was given to the Muslim community in 2012.
"It's the same God, these are neighboring rites, fraternal, and I think that Muslims and Christians can coexist and live together,” he said.
It’s not the first time the lack of places of worship for millions of Muslims has been brought up in France. In April, Boubakeur called for doubling the number of mosques.
His remarks were welcomed by the Christian community as a “legitimate”demand.
“Muslims should, like Christians and Jews, be able to practice their religion,” Monseigneur Ribadeau-Dumas, spokesperson for the Bishops’ Conference of France, told French radio station Europe 1.
However, this suggestion has been criticized by the far-right National Front party. In April, Florian Philippot, its vice-president, argued France doesn’t need more, because “100 percent of places of radicalization are mosques.”

“Muslim doorkeeper Wajeeh Nuseibeh stands outside the closed Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem’s Old City. Nuseibeh closed and locked the doors Feb. 25 after heads of Christian churches in the Holy Land announced they were closing of the doors of the church for an undisclosed period of time. “
