The Bishop of Cordoba, Demetrio Fernndez Gonzlez, is waging holy war against Muslims and lefties who want to wrest control of a cathedral away from the Catholic Church who stole it from the Moors 800 years ago.

The bitter fight has broken out over the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba in Andalusia, in southern Spain.

The consecrated site is believed to have originally been a Christian church dedicated to Saint Vincent the third.

The city was seized in 711 by a Moorish army, and it became a provincial capital.

But it was recaptured from the Moors in 1236 during the Spanish Reconquista by King Ferdinand III of Castile, following a siege lasting several months, and the Mosque was converted to a Roman Catholic cathedral.

Gonzlez has now claimed opponents now want to reverse the Reconquista.

Gonzlez said: For eight centuries we have lived peacefully with the cathedral in Catholic hands.

But right now, the idea the Muslims have had, this dream that theyve had to somehow take back the cathedral, is being helped by the political left.

So it is a kind of alliance coming in from the left.

The politicians realize that the cathedral is the property of the Church, but what they would like is for it to become public property.

So it would be a type of expropriation.

Gonzlez was speaking at a meeting in Washington DC, organizedby the Center for Religious Freedom of the Hudson Institute.

Fernndez added that sharing the cathedral with Muslims would not be possible, neither for the Catholics nor for the Muslims.

A church dedicated to St Vincent of Saragossa occupied the site and was razed by the Moors in 711.

Cordoba was governed by direct Moorish rule, with commanders establishing themselves within the city.

The city became a provincial capital in 716, and was subordinate to the Caliphate of Damascus.
