WORLD NEWSFrance: Statue of Virgin Mary Decapitated
Summit ^ | 4/18/19 | Paul Joseph Watson

Posted on 04/20/2019 5:49:38 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Nearly 900 churches in France targeted in 2018 alone.

A statue of the Virgin Mary was decapitated in a small French village yesterday, the latest in a deluge of anti-Christian attacks in France which numbered almost 900 in 2018 alone.

The statue, located in the commune of Marlhes, was beheaded despite being made of cast iron with metal reinforcements.

According to a report by LeProgres, the vandals “had to be well equipped” to cause the damage. It had already been damaged last year as a result of a fire.

The local resident’s association has vowed to repair or replace the statue. The perpetrators have not been caught.

If a statue of moo-ham-ed was decapitated (if there was one...), it would be called an islamophobic hate crime. So why isn’t this called a Christophobic hate crime?

Prior to ND, there were over 850 attacks against churches in France.

How long will the French take such acts of Hate?
“Two churches were vandalized per day,” said Lepante, (French Journalist) adding, “This government, this regime….including the Pope, including the cardinals, shut their mouth, say nothing when our churches are being vandalized, and in contrast, the minute there is a mosque that has a pot of pork sausage in front of it, there’s immediately arrest and prison for the person who did it….apologies from the whole of France, the stigmatization of racism and so on, it’s an absolutely unbearable double standard!”

the french will not fight this takeover.

I recommend that if you have a favorite church building or art work that you found a group that will raise money to bring it to the US. buildings have been transported before, stone by stone. Art work will be moved easily, and perhaps marcon will give us the Eiffel tower?

A backlash for rampant French anti-Semitism?
Or are French Catholics the new Jews?

Jews are being targeted too. Now which religion preaches hate for Jews and Christians? 3 guesses, and the answer starts with I.

All Christian churches should be equipped with security cameras so the world can see the evil doers in action.

But justice will be done. God sees them and will exact His punishment on them. “Be not deceived. God will not be mocked.”

So somebody was up there with an acetylene torch and no one noticed.

On Thursday the UK Daily Mail ran with the story it was caused by an “electrical short-circuit”. On Good Friday they changed to a “computer malfunction”. Whatever the cause, I smell journalistic BS.
