Feminist Protesters Assault Catholic Cathedral in Argentina

Women with naked torsos demanding legal and free abortion and the legal recognition of prostitution as a legitimate trade assaulted a Catholic cathedral in Argentina on Sunday, hurling stones and bottles and prompting police to fire rubber bullets into the crowd.

A feminist rally demanding an end to gender violence in Argentina ended with some violence of its own, as demonstrators hurled stones and bottles at a 19th century Catholic cathedral, prompting police to fire rubber bullets into the crowd. Several marchers were arrested, while both police and journalists covering the event were injured.

The demonstration featured women with naked torsos demanding legal and free abortion, and the recognition of prostitution as a legitimate trade.

Protesters stormed the cathedral chanting, “Take your rosaries out of our ovaries,” “O let’s swear to burn down the Church” (paraphrasing Argentina’s national anthem), and “Church, trash, you’re the dictatorship.”

Thousands of women on Sunday closed an itinerant three-day workshop known as “National Women’s Congress,” this year held in Rosario, Argentina’s second largest city. Many of the participants marched topless, with anarchist symbols drawn over their bodies.

Similar slogans were sprayed along the 1.5-mile-long path of the rally, across window stalls, churches, the local tribunals and historic buildings.

Several stores were vandalized, with women throwing stones through their windows and writing things such as “castration for rapists,” “lesbianize yourself,” and “legalize cannabis.”

Although not all of the thousands of women who participated in the rally agreed with the violent turn it took at times, the number of those who did was significant enough to cause the uproar of many in Rosario, who turned to social media to complain about the aftermath.

Earlier in the day- the rally was in the afternoon- several dozen of the Oct. 7-10 workshop participants had gathered in front of the Cathedral of Our.....

In the past, hundreds of Catholics would show up to pray the rosary while building a human fence around the cathedral, to prevent demonstrators from entering. For safety reasons, men were usually on the front line and would end up with red spray paint or feces in their faces.

This year, to avoid confrontation, Archbishop Eduardo Martin, appointed by Francis in 2014, had asked the faithful not to go, and instead requested the city’s government to protect the cathedral by fencing the perimeter.

Why am I not surprised?

So they are paving their road to hell with what Malcolm Muggeridge called, “the resort of any old slobbering debauchee anywhere in the world at any time — bed and dope.”

The call to legalize prostitution is a bit surprising. Most feminists in the west are emphatically antihooker (mostly because its perceived as something a lot of men would actually like) and have been behind the recent campaigns to shift punishment from prostitutes to johns and increased labeling of prostitution as ‘sex trafficking’. Maybe they didn’t get the memo.

Because Archbishop Spaghetti Spine was appointed by Frankie?

Why rubber bullets? Why not the real thing? Skilled snipers armed with 30.06s and a generous supply of ammo would do.

Another answer to this nonsense is to have a large crowd of men pointing at their toplessness and loudly and heartily laughing in derision at what they don't have. Leftist cancers (including the Hildebeast) can NEVER stand to be ridiculed or laughed at. It is cute to see them suffer a complete temper-laced mental breakdown.

What a gruesome sight! Topless feminazis!

The first time they throw feces or red paint is the signal for the start of the 30.06 symphony.
