If people did not leave religion, entire families would be homeless. So you see how beneficial it is to leave religion.
Quote:Nationwide Children's buys former Catholic church site, plans to create affordable housing
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Columbus closed Corpus Christi Catholic Church on East Stewart Avenue in 2023, as part of a broad reorganization and closure of churches.
But, on July 24, the nonprofit Healthy Homes purchased if for about $1.2 million from St. Mary, Mother of God Catholic Church in German Village. Healthy Homes plans to demolish the church building and construct housing on the five-acre property.
Built in 1951, the church building at 1111 E. Stewart Ave. housed the parish until it was closed in July 2023, with parishioners from Corpus Christi and St. Ladislas Church sent to St. Mary Catholic Church in German Village.
At the time, the Diocese noted fewer parishioners, less attendance at Mass and a shortage of priests among reasons for the closure.
Still, the church closure was painful for local residents, said Ted Welch, president of the Edgewood Civic Organization, which covers the area near the church.
Demolition of the original buildings will likely take place this year, West said, with hopes for construction of housing to begin in 2027.
While the project is in the early planning phase, the vision for redevelopment of the site includes affordable multi-family rental units and homeownership opportunities to help keep area residents from being priced out of their community.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
