Cardinal supports construction of mosques

Cathcon translation of Kardinal für Bau von Moscheen

The President of the Pontifical Council for the Promoting of Christian Unity, Cardinal Walter Kasper Roman, has concluded his visit Hamburg under the auspices of the Ansgar Week by supporting the religious rights of Muslims to build their own mosques. Their worship should not just in the backyard, he said. However, their new buildings should be integrated into the overall architectural scheme of the city. In Hamburg, there are about 100 mosques and prayer rooms. The global division of the Church into different denominations was called by the "ecumenical minister" of the Vatican as "Disunity and sinful." The long-term goal is to seek the visible unity of the church.
