Title: Hagia Sofia
Post by: poche on July 21, 2020, 01:11:06 AM
It appears that one of the major religious Islamic leaders doesn't approve of the making of the Hagia Sofia into a mosque;

 Islamic law does not contain any legal objection to the possibility of building churches using money belonging to Muslims. This relevant observation, full of possible applications with respect to situations of potential sectarian conflict in many countries with a Muslim majority, also deserves attention for the authoritativeness of the source: this is what Sheikh Shawki Ibrahim Abdel-Karim Allam, current Gran Mufti of Egypt, said during his speech on a television program conducted by the journalist Hamdi Rizk.
The Egyptian Grand Mufti, in his speech, indicated Egypt as the Country with a Muslim majority where more public resources are used in the construction of Christian places of worship, indicating this figure as a manifestation of strong national social cohesion. Shawki Allam (in the photo together with Coptic Orthodox Patriarch Tawadros) referred to the teachings of Mohammad who, even when he justifies military self-defense campaigns, commands not to destroy places of worship and not to kill monks. The Egyptian Grand Mufti also intervened on the reconversion of the ancient Hagia Sofia Basilica in Istanbul ordered by Turkish authorities. In this regard, Sheikh Shawki Allam said it was illegal to convert a church into a mosque, declaring that in the history of Egypt no Christian place of worship has been transformed into a Muslim place of worship.

The Hagia Sofia should rightfully become what it originally was, A Greek Orthodox Cathedral. Ishmael/Muhammad's people has taken it over. it is sad. I heard when the Mosque is having services, they cover up the ancient christian imagery on the walls with curtains or through other ways. It is very sad. Hopefully one day the Hagia Sophia will once again become the Church of Hagia Sophia. I encourage all to pray this prayer.

Most Holy Virgin, who has deigned to come to Fatima to reveal to the three little shepherds the treasures of graces hidden in the recitation of the Rosary, inspire our hearts with a sincere love of this devotion, so that by meditating on the mysteries of our redemption that are recalled in it, we may gather the fruits and obtain the conversion of Muslims to the Catholic Faith, which I ask of you in this novena, for the greater glory of God, for your own honor, and for the good of all people. Amen.

Actually it should become a Catholic cathedral. That is what it was when it was originally built.

A prophecy about the Great Monarch:

"...He will root out false doctrines and destroy the rule of Moslemism. His dominion will extend from the East to the West. All nations will adore God their Lord according to the Catholic teaching." 
- Ven. Bartholomew Holzhauser

As this is another great humiliation to the schismatic Greek Orthodox and the Greek nation, I find it appropriate to quote this prophecy from St. Bridget of Sweden:

"Let the Greeks know that their empire, their kingdoms, or dominions, shall never be secure or in settled peace, but will always be held in subjection by their enemies, from whom they shall have to suffer most grievous hardships and constant distresses ; until, with true humility and good-will, they shall have devoutly submitted themselves to the Church of Rome and to her faith, conforming themselves entirely to the holy ordinances and rites of that Church."

Let us pray for the grace of final perseverance, and for the conversion for the Greek and the Turkish peoples to the Holy Catholic Faith.

That is interesting the quote by St Bridget of Sweden. It was the patriarch of Alexandria who handed over the keys to the Babylon Fortress and they have been ruled by the Muslims ever since.
