Catholic Churches And Statues Burned, Vandalized In String Of Targeted Attacks
LINK
Catholic churches and religious statues across the country were the target of vandalism, terrorism, and potential arson this last week as tensions concerning the removal of historical statues continue to rise.
In Boston at St. Peter’s Parish Church, parts of a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary were scorched after being lit aflame. According to some at the Boston Fire Department Fire Investigation Unit, “an unknown suspect had set fire to plastic flowers, which were in the hands of the statue, causing the face and upper body of the statue to be burned.”
“Whoever is responsible for the desecration of the Holy Mother’s statue is clearly a troubled soul,” Secretary for Communications & Public Affairs for the Archdiocese of Boston, Terrence C. Donilon, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Mary represents all that is good and pure in our world. We have confidence in local law enforcement to investigate this matter. We pray for the person or persons responsible.”
The CLA Executive Director C. J. Doyle also addressed the recent attack, calling for a hate crime investigation.
“The object and timing of this attack is suspicious. The number and frequency of these incidents have increased in recent years, particularly in southern New England. Without jumping to conclusions beforehand, a hate crime investigation is, in this case, certainly warranted,” he said.
In Brooklyn, a statue of the Virgin Mary at Cathedral Prep School and Seminary in Queens also suffered an attack when an individual smeared it with the word “IDOL.”
Fr. James Kuroly, rector and president of Cathedral Prep, told Catholic News Agency that the desecration of the 100-year-old statue was an “act of vandalism and hatred.”
“Obviously, this tragedy saddens us deeply but it also renews our hope and faith in the Lord as he has shown his goodness in the many people who have already reached out to us,” said Fr. Kuroly. “We are sincerely grateful for the help we have received as well as the prayers. Please continue praying for those who committed this act of vandalism and hatred toward Our Lady and the Church.”

“Given the climate of the country, where violent mobs of extremists are, increasingly, aggressive and emboldened in destroying historic monuments and religious iconography, public officials must remain vigilant in safeguarding the constitutionally guaranteed right to the free exercise of religion, which, necessarily, includes the right of churches to have their property protected,” Doyle said.

Might be a mistake to rile up those Irish Catholic boys in Beantown.

A big topic on the athiest subreddit right now is the PPP payments that went out to churches. They are angry churches, especially Catholic churches, received those payments but don't pay taxes.
And some of those incels are dumb enough to do shite like this.

Kind of what I was thinking.

This is also a very quick way to turn a lot of devout Hispanics against your cause.

If that's not the face of a punchable, privileged, fragile SJW progressive then I'll kiss your white devil racist arse.
When I searched his name and this pic came up I was hit with that satisfying feeling you get when someone's face matches the portrait that your mind's eye has painted of them.
If I were him I'd be worried about how I'm going to fare once they send me to the penitentiary for what I assume is going to be a lengthy stay because of what he's being charged with, not to mention the egregious nature of the act and how he will do good to find any mercy in the eyes of most people: Since he can't hang with the blacks, because that's how long stints in the prison systems work, and since he can't hang with the whites since he's a beta cuck white male who's racist against whites, what ever will he do?
My money is on the outcome that his sad little progressive faux Utopian worldview will take a swift kick to the nuts for what it really is: As pitiful as that nasty, soy flavor-saving, peach fuzz of a "mustache."
