Once again, the Catholics insist that “Religious Freedom” means they’re free to tell everyone else what to do, even in the face of the literal crumbling of their churches.
I just love how wanting to do what you want with your own property and a building you paid to construct and maintain is somehow “telling everyone else what to do”
In the end, it is just a building like any other.
Interesting! This is more about possible new federal precedent influencing local authority. Some real excitement again! Ha!
If the authorities won’t let them
Tear it down, the authorities ought to be funding the maintenance.
Religious freedom means you are not treated differently, either in preferential or restrictive treatment, based on your religion, and that you are not banned from practicing your faith. It does not mean you are exempted from following the law that applies to everyone else in most instances. Churches have to follow fire codes, noise ordinances, etc.
So, I see no problem with them having to follow general rules about historic preservation that apply to every other building owner.
There are government and nonprofit grants, and also tax credits available for historic preservation. Or, they can sell the building to a developer. Historic churches in Indy and many other cities have been repurposed for housing, offices, hotels, stores, theaters, restaurants, etc. while maintaining most of their historic elements.
I assume that “building demolition” is now one of the sacraments?!? I missed that one in my catechism class.
