Closing Down of Church Because "We Have Fallen Way from True Catholicism"
So many churches are in the process of being closed down because “we’ve fallen away from adherence to true Catholicism”, Brody Hale told NcRegister.com (December 19).
Hale is a lawyer and independent consulter on church preservation in New York.
He participated at a Roman conference about the decommissioning of churches. On this occasion, he talked to a Dutchman who said that in the Netherlands two-thirds of the churches will be closed down.
Hale asked him, “Why?”
The Dutchman replied, “No one is going [to church].”
Hale asked whether he had ever considered the reasons for this.
The Dutchman, “No.”
After Second Vatican Council, the liberal Dutch Church was considered the model that should be emulated.
