Dutch Cardinal: Moral Breakdown Has Left Holland Open to Islamic Takeover

The abandonment of Christian morality, the Divine law and natural law always leaves a wasteland of a country ready to be occupied by anyone willing to take it over and develop another culture...
The rise of Islam, Cardinal Simonis said, is related to "the spectacle of extreme moral decadence and spiritual decline that we offer" to young people.

"Nowadays political leaders ask whether the Muslims will accept our values," the Dutch cardinal observed. "I ask, 'What values are those? Gay marriage? Euthanasia?'"
We mustn't forget abortion and contraception! These too result in a rapid decline of a culture, namely, people, future citizens, children of God!
Commenting on the Dutch tradition of tolerance, Cardinal Simonis observed that the notion of "tolerance" as it is understood there today is a recent development. "For three centuries, Catholics were barred from public office.," he noted. The current penchant for "tolerance," he said, "came later, after a common loss of faith-- roughly 40 years ago."
40 years ago...? Wasn't that about the time of Vatican II, and rebellion, disobedience, the sexual revolution, the Great Society, contraception, 'free' sex, the death of SIN, and on and on??? Oh, and tolerance!
