Franceschini, – we are trying to build something there, where the Catholic groups get shaped and live, thanks also to mixed marriages, especially in sea towns such as Antalya or others. However, it is very hard. For example, there are old churches which might be repaired and reopened, but the necessary permissions are not released. Therefore, it is necessary to rent a big room and refurbish it, paying a lot of money. In this way, while in Cologne the Church is going to donate a space to build a mosque, and maybe it is also going to pay a contribution for it, here they concede nothing". However, hope is not missing: "this slow step through which we are going on depends also on us and on our token. The Christian community must be able to wait, to pray a lot, and to be present with hope. This – he concluded is also a message for Europe. We ourselves can do nothing". ” ” ” “
