Archbishop warns: Italy to become a Muslim country in 10 years

Italy will become a Muslim country as refugees and atheists take over.

The number of Muslims in Italy is growing rapidly, prompting one archbishop to issue a warning - Italy will become a Muslim country in a decade if the people do not wise up to what's happening.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - A Catholic Archbishop has a dire warning for his country. Italy will become a Muslim country in a decade if they continue to liberalize and keep the country open to Muslim refugees.

Italian Archbishop Carlo Liberati said the rise of secularism and the influx of Muslim immigrants would change the country forever.

'In 10 years we will all be Muslims because of our stupidity. Italy and Europe live in a pagan and atheist way; they make laws that go against God, and they have traditions that are proper of paganism... All of this moral and religious decadence favors Islam. We have a weak Christian faith. The Church nowadays does not work well, and seminaries are empty. Parishes are the only thing still standing. We need a true Christian life. All this paves the way to Islam. In addition to this, they have children, and we do not. We are in full decline."

The dire warning comes after Italy has opened its doors to Muslim immigrants, taking in a third of a million the past two years alone. In the 1970s, Italy was home to just 2,000 Muslims. Today, the number exceeds two million.

The Archbishop also criticized how elderly Italians are "eating from the trash" while the nation accepts a further 5 million foreign nationals. Youth unemployment remains a major problem.

The Church, which is an international organization has done much to welcome and support refugees, but the Italian government does not appear to be keeping faith and the Italian people as priorities.

The rise of secularism and atheism also favors the spread of Islam, according to the Archbishop.
