Chicago Catholics, wake up—this is a betrayal.
The Archdiocese of Chicago is actively listing historic church properties for sale (see their March 2026 For Sale PDF). Long-standing parishes like Our Lady of Loretto, St. Louis de Montfort, and Our Lady of Victory in Jefferson Park—centers of Catholic communities for generations—are being sold off. Muslim groups, such as the Islamic Community Center of Illinois, are raising funds to buy Our Lady of Victory’s church and convent to convert it into an Islamic high school and mosque facility.
This is a disturbing trend under “Renew My Church.” The Archdiocese is betraying its own parishioners by selling these sacred spaces—built by the blood, sweat, and sacrifices of faithful Catholic families—to groups that will pull down the Cross and turn them into mosques. These aren’t just buildings; they are the heart of neighborhoods, now handed over amid declining attendance the Archdiocese itself helped create through poor leadership.
Gateway Pundit has covered my exposés on how Catholic Charities has similarly betrayed Chicagoland by colluding with the city to import and flood our communities with criminal illegal aliens—prioritizing outsiders over the faithful they were meant to serve.
Could you imagine the reverse? If Catholics tried to buy and convert mosques into churches in Palestine, Saudi Arabia, or other Islamic communities? They wouldn’t negotiate—they’d burn them down and respond with violence. Yet here, our heritage is surrendered without a fight.
Pray for Cardinal Cupich’s leadership and the faithful resisting this. Contact priests, support preservation efforts, and share widely. Our Lady of Victory and others deserve better than becoming symbols of replacement. What say you, Chicago Catholics?
