Pachamama - Pokemon... what’s in a word?
Chicken so good it’ll make you Pachamama!.......................
Interesting how the author fails to identify “some men” who perpetrated the implied dastardly deed. Presumably Catholics, they weren’t just random outsiders vandalizing a practically random place, they were parishioners clearing what they construed as vandalism out of _their_ place.
Over time the disregard of law by those in charge eventually brings about disregard of law by those subject to it.
Would that the Democrats could flash to this simple truth... Save us all a hell of a lot of trouble.

Please!! Stop using crude hate against Catholicism.
These are not idols.
They are art.
They are strictly used only in veneration and not worship!!!
These statues are used because the Apostles taught their use - passing by oral tradition from generation to generation by our Catholic leaders.
Yep!......................
But as far as I know, no individuals or organizations have taken responsibility for this noble act of idol-removal.
Might it have been TFP?
Ha.
Bullshirk,aMPU.
Not in a homicidal way or anything... but it would be nice to see the men who allowed the statues in the sanctuary thrown into the Tiber also!
But this was a great day for someone to take action and defend the church.
Except that they really didn't, did they?
It matters what the statue represents, which is why the Ark of the Covenant was to be surmounted by golden cherubim, not golden Canaanite fertility demons.
Wow! I can’t believe that the prissy Ralph Peters, who has protected Francis tooth and nail despite “reservations,” has gotten to the heart of the matter.
There are many “traditionalists” out there now saying that the act of these brave men (who may have been the dreaded “Novus Ordo Catholics”) was wrong, that they have resisted the Pope, that they’ve committed all sorts of sins....I honestly don’t know what these (admittedly, self-proclaimed) trads are all about.
What about the Faith? Who is going to defend the Faith? These men did.
You are mistaken. This was not an anti-Catholic removal of normal statues found in a church. It was a removal of pagan fertility goddess icons that were recently added.
Let them go diving in the Tiber to recover their precious tchotchkes.
Indeed, reading through Aquinas' writings on theft and robbery it is hard to justify this act.
However, if we believe the faithful are in a "just war" then these statues may be fair game..but I am very hesitant to declare war on Mother Church right now. Why? Because what is to stop the modernists from sacking Rome when we get a trad Pope?
Just as Deplorables get peeved when some leftist defaces Trump signs, if the tables were turned and some Jesuit dumped a St Pius X statue into the moat, we'd be hopping mad.
Now, we've given ammo to the opposition, you know "trads are thieves, shut them down, arrest these miscreants, blah blah blah..." and we've given tacit approval for the modernists to strike back when they're out of power.
There has to be a better way.
yup. I don’t see a difference between the marian idols and the amazonian ones either
Just imagining them climbing out of the water, soaking wet. Literally dripping with the brotherly correction and guidance administered by their flock.
(you know I can be a troublemaker sometimes...)
