Swedish Government Threatens to Close Catholic Schools
The National Catholic Register ^ | 4/20/18 | Angelo Stagnaro

Posted on 04/20/2018 5:08:52 PM PDT by marshmallow

“The proposal is an aggressive assault against our Catholic community.”

Stockholm — Christianity came to Sweden in the person of St. Ansgar (AD 801–865) when he visited Birka in AD 828–829 where he was given permission to build a church.

However, the rising alarm and ire against Muslim immigrants has threatened to dislodge Christianity as the foundation upon which Swedish culture is based. In fact, the Pew Research Center points out that practicing Muslims will make up 20-30 percent of the Swedish population within 30 years.

This nationalist ire is now being directed toward Catholics and their children.

Sweden’s school system consists of state schools, independent schools and confessional schools. According to national law, all three types of schools are entitled to public funding. This was done to make sure its citizens had access to schools based on their preferences or belief, independent of one’s financial situation.

There are approximately 4,000 state schools and more than 800 independent schools in Sweden. Of these, only 71 are confessional schools. Of these, there are 59 Christian, 11 Muslim schools and one Jewish school. Of all the Christian schools, Catholics operate only three primary schools.

Of the three Catholic schools in Sweden, the largest is Notre Dame in Gothenburg. It was founded 1873 by French Josephite sisters and has 400 pupils. In 1936, German nuns from the same order took over the school. As those nuns withdrew in the beginning of 2000, the school is now managed by lay Catholics.

Daniel Szirányi, Member of the Board of Notre Dame School, spoke about the current threat against Catholic education.

I think the Swedes behaved better when they were Vikings.

Sweden was the very first European country that I ever visited——about 25 years ago——I’m glad I did it then.

Muslims are the problem so they go after Christians (today RCC, tomorrow others).

So many seem under a strong delusion.

Close Catholic schools because Catholics are running wild in the strets, raping ethnic Swedes and making whole cities no-go zones.

Oh wait.....

Never mind...

You can’t blame them. They like their head between their shoulders.

Partner, the Mooselimb religion is not a religion first of all. They still practice Polygamy and one of the main reasons they are so delusional.
One of the most amazing things about the Swedes is that they were some of the most violent fighters in the world and they were farmers by trade. How do u like them apples?

I did see some Swedes enjoying a good ole fashioned barbq and playing some good ole C&W music with their barbq. Now, that is my kind of folks.

Prediction: The Swedes will overcome the invasion of their country by these crazed Mooselimbs.

Sorry folks, they will be 60-70 percent because of your low birth rates and when they get to 10-20 percent or so they will declare a jihad and kill most of you except for the slaves and sex slaves.

I never said Islam was a legitimate faith.

Random aside: I came across this today and it seems just the thing to cause progressive heads to explode....

Sweden should deport every single follower of the Death Cult who currently resides in Sweden and reclaim Sweden for the people who founded it.

I worked in Norway 30 years ago. I did not lock my doors. I was perfectly safe. That day is gone and it is a result of immigration. Most sad this is.

either the Swedes return the Muslims (to any of the 56 countries the Muslims have already invaded and conquered) or else the Swedes will need to find new homes for themselves and their children. The Muslims are,.. and WILL finish.. taking over Sweden. Its only a matter of time (and less time than most of us imagined just a couple years ago).
The very first thing the good Swedish people need to do is Wake Up to the stark, simple fact that their Ruling Elite has SOLD THEM and their country and their futures.. OUT.

Partner, we just got back from a nice vacation on Rhodes island which BTW is only 30 miles from the Turkish coast and we visited Athens also.

I will hate the Mooselimbs until the day I die and I will keep saying that this religion is illegitimate and their numbers grow because of the polygamy.

We already know that Mohammad pilfered/stole/copied just about every single Jewish custom and inoorporated into the Mooselimbs because the Mohammad hung around the Jewish folk who wanted him to join the Jewish faith.

Mohammad has turned the Mooselimb religion into the most hated religion on earth and their growth only comes from polygamy. We know that the early growth came thru the sword and this is how the religion had so many converts u either switch to their religion or get killed by having your throat slit.

Mohammad was such a big pervert that he make the whole religion disgusting as to their other practices outside of the Jewish faith.

We are going to have to stop them or we will have another crusade against the Mooselimbs.

I agree with ya that the Mooselimb religion is not the religion of peace but it surely is the religion of hate.
