   Everyone in Italy and the rest of Europe will “soon be Muslim” because of   
   the country’s “stupidity”, a prominent Italian archbishop has said.    
   Monsignor Carlo Liberati, Archbishop Emeritus of Pompeii, said that Islam will   
   soon become Europe’s main religion thanks to the huge number of Muslim   
   migrants alongside the increasing secularism of native Europeans.   
      
   Speaking to Italian Catholic journal La Fede Quotidiana, the archbishop said:   
   “In 10 years we will all be Muslims because of our stupidity. Italy and   
   Europe live in a pagan and atheist way, they make laws that go against God and   
   they have traditions    
   that are proper of paganism.   
      
   “All of this moral and religious decadence favours Islam.”   
      
   “We have a weak Christian faith,” he added. “The Church nowadays does   
   not work well and seminaries are empty.   
      
   “Parishes are the only thing still standing. We need a true Christian life.   
   All this paves the way to Islam. In addition to this, they have children and   
   we do not. We are in full decline.”   
      
   The archbishop added that the problem is not just Muslim immigration. The   
   number of Eastern Europeans arriving over the past few years has also hit the   
   quality of life for native Italians, he said.   
      
   “We help without delay those coming from outside and we forget many poor and   
   old Italians who are eating from the trash,” the archbishop said. “We need   
   policies that take care of Italians first: our young people and the unemployed.   
      
   “I am a protester. If I were not a priest, I’d be out there demonstrating   
   in the squares. What is the point of so many migrants that instead of thanking   
   for the food we give them, they just throw it, spend hours with their cell   
   phones and even    
   organise riots?”   
      
   He even criticised the Catholic Church for giving money to migrants.   
      
   “Giving money to migrants wandering around town is not only wrong, but   
   morally harmful because we encourage their behaviour and they get used to   
   that, not mentioning the fact that we already feed them.   
      
   “I think sometimes this creates a beggars’ network. I remember that my   
   father went to work very hard as a migrant in Australia so I could go to   
   seminary. So he has experienced in his own skin the discomfort of poverty and   
   the noble virtue of    
   gratitude.”
