Doodlebob, if you found a Santa Muerte diabolical icon befouling a Catholic sanctuary, would you think obligatory to leave it in the sanctuary while the proper owner was located?

I may be inclined to take that icon to the Parish Priest, who is the just "keeper" of the Church, for him to deal with it (hopefully) properly by destroying it. If that Priest gives that icon a cheery two-thumbs up, then I may be inclined to unleash a massive social media AND print media blitz that exposes this Priest's actions.

Believe me, I get that these are difficult times and the current leaders are not in synch with what is proper, moral teaching. I am all for calling out these guys and blasting them in the public square 24/7 until their teeth chatter. But as soon as I (or any other wrench) take it upon myself to be the judge, jury, and executioner of what constitutes "appropriate property" in any Church, then surely Aquinas has lost and the rabble have won.

"Executioner" is a bit tendentious.

"Custodian" is a better word. Custodians do take out the rash.
