The Pope has issued no statement about the rash of church burnings in Canada, England, France etc.

Carey, Canada prime minister, is concerned that the populace does not understand why Muslim Mosques do not have a similar problem.

Starmer and Macron have similar outlooks.

Saw an Episcopal Church burn down a couple of decades ago. It was half a block from our apartment. It offered daycare to any and all children and did outreach to Muslims.

When it burned, there was a group of young Muslim males who were out in the street celebrating.

I doubt that it will be rebuilt or repaired because there wasn't much of a congregation if lack of Sunday attendance is any indication.

Does he know about them? Were they Catholic churches?

I’m thankful you Protestants are finally acknowledging the Catholic Church is the authority on all Christian matters

My Reddit troll account caught a ban yesterday in a thread about the massive Sagrada Família church finally being completed after 144 years of construction. I said

"144 years to build and only 30 minutes for a muslim to burn it down one day."

He'll gladly give the land to the Muslims to build a mosque on.

Who do you think is responsible for the suspicious church burnings across Canada over recent years?

The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) did not actually build or directly back the mosque project in the sense of financial or construction support. What occurred is that two SBC agencies—the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) and the International Mission Board (IMB)—signed a friend-of-the-court (amicus) brief supporting the Islamic Society of Basking Ridge’s legal right under U.S. law to build a mosque in Bernards Township, New Jersey. This action was taken on principles of religious liberty, defending the idea that all religious groups should have equal rights to construct places of worship, rather than promoting or funding the mosque itself.
The legal action contributed to a settlement where Bernards Township agreed to allow the mosque construction and pay damages. Some Southern Baptists expressed controversy over this support, and IMB leadership later clarified that amicus briefs would only address issues directly related to their mission moving forward.
In summary, the SBC backed the legal principle of the mosque's right to exist but did not sponsor, fund, or directly facilitate the mosque project. Reports claiming the SBC was building mosques are satirical and false.

The Pope can't seem to connect the dots as he invites Muslims to take over the Vatican.

It doesn’t. If you were smart, you’d recognize I was trying to draw a connection between his knowledge and the burned church in Canada.
