Maybe conducting a little Catholic missionary work in Europe might keep out the skateboard parks? Seriously, how hard is this to figure out? A little less time spent on immigration issues and a little more following and preaching the Faith? I have been told repeatedly the European culture has changed-become secularized-causing the decline in the Faith. Well, it seems the secular European culture has had little impact on ardently faithful Muslim adherents who have migrated, continued to practice and spread their faith. Perhaps it is not the "ground" which is infertile but the Catholic hierarchy who are the sowers of the seeds of the faith where the problem lies?
I’d say your current Pope is hurting your brand.
You need to elect one that is inspiring...

Better they should try to figure out why the churches are closing in the first place.
I guess they could sell them to the Muslims.
We are about to start closing large numbers of them here.
My fear is that they will become mosques.
A large Protestant church a few miles from here was sold and became a mosque, and reportedly the Imam has very troubling ties to terror groups. Neighbors are VERY concerned about it.
Make the case that we should not sell to Muslims and I’m sure the Diocese will berate you as a bigoted hater.
