The Netherlands and the multicultural problem.

[Creoda]

One Lutheran Church. Dig halfy into bedrock. Do not know why, but this modern church has been target of muslim terrorists (few times ... rumors says). See the last photo and stoppers outside.I bet there are no quite similar Catholic churches.

Ridiculous. A Protestant church is meant to be humble, not a spaceship.

It is God's house ... so what is the matter ?

The real mulicultural problem is with law speaker, look at that avatar, that belongs to the world of the Sissy movies, the baroque Roman Catholics.

In his dreams he is the new Franco or Salazar (dixit Lawspeaker). Probably he is best suited there....but ok he forgot they are all dead and gone now, poor Lawspeaker.

He is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedevacantism Kind of Roman-Catholic sect.

That means he has more with the Vatican than with his own country. And he blames Luther for the root of all troubles.

He is in that sense 'disruptive' for the North....or a Northern Union. Off to Belgium!

Sect is a proper word to describe Calvinism. Most militaristic and rigid Protestant sect.

I guess not the most militaristic, most rigid yes recognizable.

And 'two calvinist two kind of churches' in some way uppish....

Actually, it looks like there are real Dutch around, Protestant and upholding the values of the old brave Dutch sailing until Taiwan and Japan, hitting the Portuguese and Spanish there.

Catholics usually win in numbers. Royals of Belgium are originally from German Protestant origins, but with pressure from their Catholic subjects, they have become Catholics.
A similar demographic takeover and Catholicization might happen in Netherlands too, when you see His Majesty the King marrying Catholics from Argentine and Latino worlds.

In the UK, they have legal clause clearly stating that the British throne can only be inherited by a Protestant.
In the Netherlands, they might need the same. Unless this is achieved, people like Lawspeaker won't stop their northwards push

Know that I use his nickname The Silent. Today it may have more positive connotations (being able to listen well) but in those days, the nickname didn't have a connotation and meant a hypocrite.

Why is he a hypocrite?

It is God's house ... so what is the matter ?

It doesn't give one a very Holy feeling, more of a 'Holy s***, what 60/70s sci-fi and drugs inspired this?'.

[The Lawspeaker]

Why is he a hypocrite?

He was known to be a schemer and he changed religion a couple of times over in order to fit in with the current religious wind. His marriage life may have been interesting to say the least (although re-marriage after death was common), one of his marriages was bordering the adulterous.

[The Lawspeaker]

But with extra Lutherans mmmmm you stated yesterday that all the troubles began with Luther, short of memory?

Economy-wise the countries can work well together. Economic cooperation is rarely based on religion. If you had ever seen the economic systems of the countries involved, you'd see why they would work well together: small and open.

One thing is sure in such a union you could shake your Franco and Salazar Roman Catholic authoritarian wet dreams, doesn't have have a single connection with the Nordics.....
