  1. “”removal is the only option” to uphold Catholic Church rules about former sacred places“

    Not even close to true when deconsecration is an option.

    I’ve drank a beer while playing bingo in the former sanctuary of a Catholic Church, converted into a gym by the church itself.

    1. Nevermind the deconsecrated Catholic Church (just west and north of Holy Cross, in fact) that is now a brewery.
