Bishop Hermann Glettler of Innsbruck, Austria, a homosexual activist and reader of Gloria.tv, wants to use the Petrus Canisius Church in Innsbruck for both presiding at the Eucharist and climbing.
The
project has yet to be approved by the parish council and the office for
the protection of monuments. Monsignor Glettler wrote in a letter to
the parish that it would be an "attraction" to use the church as a gym
at the same time.
The church is a flat-roofed, towerless central
building with a square floor plan, built between 1968 and 1972. At
present, around 25 people attend the Sunday Eucharist there.
To make the project possible, the pews will first have to be removed to make way for a free-standing climbing wall.
Bishop
Glettler: "The Eucharist will continue to be celebrated every Sunday in
the main nave and the Blessed Sacrament will be kept in the chapel on
the ground floor, which will be open to everyone as a spiritual space."
The
operator of the climbing centre should also provide catering facilities
(!) and changing rooms, as well as a children's adventure world.
Canon
1210 of the Code of Canon Law states: "In a sacred place only those
things are permitted which serve the exercise or promotion of worship,
piety or religion; everything that is not in keeping with the sacredness
of the place is forbidden". But in the Novus Ordo Church, Canon Law is
only followed and distorted in order to persecute Catholics.
