“Horrific”: church attacked, desecrated in Rome violence
The Vatican has condemned Saturday’s violent clashes in central Rome including an attack by protesters on a church in which a crucifix and a statue of the Virgin Mary were destroyed.
Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said he “condemned the violence and the fact that a church was desecrated by some protesters who broke in and destroyed some images.” He referred to the clashes in Rome as “horrific.”
The 18th-century church of Santi Marcellino and Pietro is near St John Lateran square where much of Saturday’s violence occurred.
“When I came down, I saw the entrance door had been smashed in,” the church’s parish priest, Father Giuseppe Ciucci, was quoted by Italian media as saying.
“The Virgin Mary’s statue, which was at the entrance, had been taken away and I saw it had been thrown into the street and smashed,” he said.
“I went into the sacristy and I saw the door there was also destroyed. The large crucifix at the entrance had been vandalized,” he added

They are anti-Christ and will ally with other anti-Christs such as Islam. They truly have the signature of the beast as you said Sherab Zangpo.

So a masked Roman Muslim smashed a statue of Mary. They are heroes to their American counterparts.

Not a hero to us…but more accurately, a member of Italy’s ‘block bloc’ — the protests in the U.S. are peaceful (until the police overreact) You are the 99% too! WWJD?

I used to attend the Catholic church in Youngstown, Ohio where a woman was shot not 50 feet from the back door of the church by a gang-banger-type, who stole her purse. The upshot is the priest who found her was on the way to show our old school building to a prospective buyer that turned out to be the Fethullah Gulen Movement. They eventually purchased the school building for a charter school. So I’m not surprised by the sacrilege committed in Rome. I’m also now a Baptist.

What’s interesting about it is, that we don’t see massive protests of angry, bloodlust Christians marching the streets. Were it a Qu’ran or some other islamic symbolic artefact, I don’t think the reaction would be that calm. So indeed, a big boy this masked idiot.
Yes, I’m an atheist (at least, I do not believe in anything supernatural), but I loathe people who do such things. Furthermore, I’m not anti-religion or whatever, I think everyone must choose their own way of life. But I do believe in respect for each other and in dialogue. When you don’t agree with something, say it, make yourself heard, instead of using violence.
I do believe it’s typical of the Left: they DO use violence a lot, despite their messages of “brotherhood”, “social justice” and “love and peace.” Give me a break!
