Church of all saints, located in the Kensington area in Liverpool, decided to leave the gate of its parking lot open overnight, despite the fact that prostitutes use this territory in the dark time – they provide services in customer cars and use drugs, leaving trash in parking. It is reported by Tabloid The Daily Mail.
Local residents – especially those who have the windows and what is happening there to see their children – are dissatisfied with such a decision of the church administration: on the spot intended for cars of the parishioners, condoms and traces of the use of prohibited substances often are often found. However, the church, located next to the local “quarter of red lamps”, is not going to close the gate.
According to the representative of the Church, the clergymen are confident that all people are equal before God and want to support including prostitutes to offer an alternative path in life. “We understand that these women are very often not just sex workers, but mothers, sisters and someone’s friends who are struggling with some difficulties in life, and they should not be judged because of this their classes,” – He said.
Some in the Catholic Church are also guided by the same logic of assistance. Thus, in 2020, Cardinal Konrad Krayevsky, responsible for Vatican’s humanitarian programs, sent monetary assistance to a group of prostitutes-shemale in the city near Rome.
