My mother in law, our family (muslim) and me (christian) were kicked out of the cathedral because my mother in law wanted to pray here (with her hijab), according to the securities only Christians are allowed to pray in this house of god (a former mosque!!!) My mother in law was told to pray in the streets instead. I can not recommend a visit until this issue is fixed. Also the employees in the cathedrals office hang up on you (twice), if you speak in english. We’ve never experienced this kind of racism in a religious institution and I’m sorry for all the Muslims that had to go through this in the past. Next to the cathedral they’re selling plates with ‘allah’ written in Arabic for 50€ but they treat Muslims like trash, unbelievable!

Lamentable. Vergonzoso. Lo dice un católico padre de familia. He visto a un monje de votos solemnes pelando la pava literalmente con la cocinera de la hospedería. Hablando de mundanidades. Ocioso. Los monjes se retiran del mundo para buscar a Dios en el silencio. Pacotillas Me duele como católico ver esto en la Iglesia. Mundanidad en los conventos. Falta de vocaciones. Qué hemos hecho de la Iglesia ! Descafeinando los monasterios no se consiguen más vocaciones. El joven no encuentra en la Iglesia la verdadera vocación de...
