Priest bans Nativity scene for fear of offending Muslims — in Saudi Arabia? No, Italy! By Nick Hallett.

A priest in Italy has caused uproar after announcing there would be no Christmas nativity scene at the local cemetery this year because it could offend Muslims and atheists.

Complete cultural non-confidence. If you were in Saudi Arabia you might conform to Muslim sensibilities, but in Italy? Home of the Catholic Church? Virtue signalling gone nuts. How more virtuous could the priest be — how about campaigning for a Muslim as Pope?

The local chief of the conservative Lega Nord, Pietro Burgazzi, also said: “I hope the decision not to put up a crib was not ideological, but hearing the criticisms it seems that it was.

PC ideology triumphs again.
