Cardinal Miloslav Vlk

Prague, Czech Republic, Jan 6, 2010 / 11:04 pm (CNA).- The outgoing Archbishop of Prague Cardinal Miloslav Vlk has warned of the “Islamization” of Europe, calling for Europeans to return to their Christian roots. “The fall of Europe is looming,” he said in an interview published on his website.

"Europe has denied its Christian roots from which it has risen and which could give it the strength to fend off the danger that it will be conquered by Muslims -- which is actually happening gradually,” the cardinal said, according to Agence France Presse.

"If Europe doesn't change its relation to its own roots, it will be Islamized,” added the prelate.

Cardinal Vlk said that immigration and Muslims’ high birth rates have helped Muslims “easily fill the vacant space created as Europeans systematically empty the Christian content of their lives.”

"At the end of the Middle Ages and in the early modern age, Islam failed to conquer Europe with arms. The Christians beat them then,” he continued. "Today, when the fighting is done with spiritual weapons which Europe lacks while Muslims are perfectly armed, the fall of Europe is looming.”

Cardinal Vlk was persecuted by the communist regime toppled in 1989. He was named Archbishop of Prague in 1991 by Pope John Paul II.

He had offered his resignation two years ago at the age of 75, as required by Church law, but Pope Benedict asked him to continue serving.

The cardinal’s successor should be named this week, according to Czech news reports.

The last time Europe was a Christian continent, it was called "the Dark Ages."

There are temporal consequences for abortion and "birth control," one of which is obviously looming Third World takeover of Europe. The handwriting's been on the wall since the 60s.

Dear John, the unbaptized. You are showing your ignorance of Islam. If they take over a country, that country will be under Shariah Law. If you don't convert, you will become a Dhimmi and will have no rights. You may have to pay for them to "protect" you from them. Learn a little more about Islam because the Muslims are slowly taking over. When a vacuum (no more Christian values) happens, something else always will step in to supplant it.

The Post Vatican-II Church is part of the problem, not part of the solution. The Renewal Movement of Traditional Catholicism is being embraced by more and more Catholics who are studying their own history, now recognizing that it has been mangled by so-called validly ordained leaders since the Church betrayed Our Lady of Fatima in 1917 and the ensuing years. We are no longer going to call our abusers "Father". We have been abused spiritually, as well, of course, as in other ways. The next College of Cardinals will have more than security to worry about. They will all be unmasked as gangster conspirators.

The Cardinal is correct. The Muslims have been trying to take over Europe since the 8th century. Thanks to Charles Martel and the Franks at The Battle of Tours, the Muslims were defeated and Europe remained Christian. They tried again militarily many times after that but were also defeated. Then in the 20th century the Muslims thought of a more effective way to invade and conquer Europe...immigration!! Wake up Europe, your continent has been taken over by two pagan enemies: the first are the secular, leftwing, relativist New world Order illuminati and the 2nd are the Muslims. The restoration of the Social Kingship of Christ is the only hope for Europe and the world. St. Benedict of Nursia, the patron Saint of Europe intercede and pray for Europe!

RIDICULOUS!!! The end is near, the sky is falling. We here in Europe could well do with some diversity. Where I live, there are most people Catholic, and it shows. It's a prison! Why not have some more Muslims and atheists!

"Europe has denied its Christian roots" - forgetting, of course, that Europe's roots are in pre-Christian religion, and that in fact Christianity simply took over and built on these traditions.

The Cardinal is dead right. The whole plan of the muslim world including Turkey is to conquer the west and Islamise. They will do it in various ways like illegal immigration, guest workers, students and arranged marriages. They will also pay money to get white converts and also marry white women and force them to convert to Islam.This is probably tha last wke up call of a cardinal who is level headed and knows the mentality of Muslims.muslim religion si all about world domination anda religion which has stong links to politics.They have taken advantage of the radical secularion of Europe and its athiest agenda
