After Hagia Sophia: Erdogan Turns Next Church Into Mosque

After the Hagia Sophia, the Turkish Erdogan government turned another world heritage site, the Chora Church in Istanbul, Turkey, into a mosque.

An August 21 presidential decree handed the church over to Islamic worship. It was built in the 5th century and dedicated to the Holy Saviour. In 1511 it was transformed into a mosque and in 1945 into a museum.

The church was part of a monastery complex.

I repeat: This post has nothing to do with Pope Franics. Go start your own post to complain about Pope Francis. and lay off the spam, too @Be Ye Irrelevant.

Popes no longer possess the political power to call crusades from temporal governments. As such, they no longer have the ability to implement military force to defend the Church against Muslim aggression or to retake Christian property from Muslim occupation.

I'm always entertained how you go scrabbling around the posts looking for a re-match after you've been soundly beaten somewhere else.

No, I'm a political pragamatist. Criticizing those you can neither pressure nor chastise only encourages them to do worse simply to flaunt their ability to do so.
If you mouth off about your shift-leader giving you lousy assignments, he (more likely she at Feminist and Diversity Friendly Wal-Mart) is going to give you worse ones just to prove she can do as she pleases.

"Glad to know you would never defend Catholicism to the death."

I haven't seen any reports of a mysterious masked man chastising the vandals who trashed and torched an Ohio church.

Why hasn't Still_I_Rise paid those little goblins a fatherly visit, hmmm? =SIR= would look smashing on a caped vigilante costume!

For you, since I'm guessing a nice "serious" royal Catholic blue would for the body, along with a wide yellow stripe down the back, but that would be TOO ironic, wouldn't it? ;-)

The culprits have been caught. Getting addresses should be an easy amount of detective work for the vigilante who went digging up poor "Granite State Kim", yes? ;-)

What's the matter, tough guy? You need that information "spoon fed" to you along with everything else? For a moment I was almost tempted to dig it all up for you, just for the heck of it. But why bother? You're not going to do a blasted thing.

Instead, you'll just sit around demanding I take on the entire country of Turkey when you don't have the nuts to "defend Catholicism to the death" in your own home state against a pair of snotty teenagers.

Talking big is all you ever do. Making claims you can't back up.

This all is moar of your tough-guy routine, anyway. It tends to come bubbling up out of you like swamp gas when you're ticked off about something.

What, exactly, I couldn't really say. Maybe, and this is me just spec-u-lating...

Maybe you're in an evil mood because you (rightly) understand you'll be seeing the word "De facto" in bold every week from now on, to your endless annoyance.

It might have also occurred to you when that yammering Latin magpie Eticacassanova sees it, you'll be treated to his ja-ja-ja-ja pecking routine. Worse, that twerp Be Ye Stupid is going to ride on my fabulously lustrous velvet coat-tails and parrot the point for a quick shot any time you're beating him on anti-Semitism.

Again, this is all just speculation, not prediction. I can't tell what you think. Sometimes I can, but not right now.

My Official Gary Spivey Psychic Wig is at the dry-cleaners right now. Do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to keep that thing spotlessly, magically white?

That's why your psychic routine always tanks. You bought one of those cheap Chinese imitation wigs at Wal-Mart on an employee discount. If that wasn't bad enough, lazy, slovenly middle-aged batchelor that you are, you don't bother keeping it clean.

It's gotta look like this if you want your psychic wig to work right! And next time buy American. :D

"It's about muslims defiling another church." @Ultraviolet
So Muhammad's gang defiled a Christian Church before False Francis could. Do you think Francis was envious? Will they allow Francis to set up his pagan earth goddess in the Mosque?

This post isn't about who leads the Catholic Church @Be Ye Irrelevant It's about muslims defiling another church. Go start your own post. I can't answer your question there, either, dummy. pic related.

let’s see if Francis will be ‘saddened again.

Can a man lead the worship of a devilish pagan goddess, defiling Almighty God's Altars at the Vatican, and be the head of Jesus our Christ's Holy Church, at the same time?
Yes or no?@Ultraviolet

Since this involves the destruction of Christian "World Heritage Sites" the world doesn't care. Imagine the outrage if Catholics converted a UNESCO mosque?
