Cardinal Warns Europe's Apathy of Christian Culture Will Lead to Islamisation

A leading Catholic cardinal said today that Europeans only have themselves to blame for allowing Islam to "conquer" the continent, according to the Telegraph website in England.

Czech Cardinal Miloslav Vlk, the Archbishop of Prague, said Muslims were well placed to fill the spiritual void "created as Europeans systematically empty the Christian content of their lives."

He added, "Unless the Christians wake up, life may be Islamised and Christianity will not have the strength to imprint its character on the life of people, not to say society."

The 77-year-old cardinal made his remarks in an interview to mark his retirement, after spending 19 years as the leader of the Czech Church.

He said he did not blame Muslims for the crisis as Europeans had brought it upon themselves by exchanging their Christian culture for an aggressive secularism that embraced atheism.
