A Virgin Mary statue outside a Dorchester church was desecrated on the same night another one was burned about a mile away, according to the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts’ spokesman, who said churches are being “deliberately targeted.”

A statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary was set ablaze outside St. Peter’s Parish overnight July 11. Police responded to the scene and are investigating, officials confirmed at the time.

And the Catholics, as with the Venezuelan Catholics, will keep voting for the commies until the nation is doomed.

Federal hate crime and Terrorism.
Send in the Feds.
There are too many churches and icons being attacked to be simple vandalism.

This just shows that when you let something slide just once, precedent is set and you easily lose control. To get it back you’ll have to work twice as hard.

I used to live across the street from St. Teresa’s. It was St. Margaret’s then.

That church played all the military songs with the bells every Sunday.

The Archdiocese said: that’s a troubled soul.

Almost as weak as my archbishop.

That isn’t just a troubled soul, he’s a dumb a.s.s.
You shouldn’t mess with the Blessed Mother.

Here’s my question: With all of these attacks on Catholic churches and religious statues why aren’t there any members of the congregations with the balls to start watch groups to observe and protect what the popo obviously can’t and beat some old time religion into these sons of bitches?

Just a dead old white women. Who cares? They could erect a statue of Harriet Tubman in it’s place. (Sarc)

“First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me” (Unknown author)

Time to weaponize the Knights of Columbus with AR-15s instead of ceremonial swords, and a lot of this could come to a screeching halt!
Swords were the weapons of choice way back in the 1500s. That was SO yesterday!

“ And the Catholics, as with the Venezuelan Catholics, will keep voting for the commies until the nation is doomed.”

As well as the Lutherans, Methodists, Buddhists, Hindus and just about everyone else.

As long as no one attacks an AME church, the government will not care.

I can read some of your minds from my computer.

“Where can one buy a cheap version of the statue that can be hollowed out and filled with ammonium nitrate, oil, a pressure switch and detonator?”
