Our Lady of Lourdes statue lies in fragments on the pavement outside the church.
A demonstrator celebrates as a Carabinieri police vehicle burns during a demonstration of the "Indignant" group in Rome on Saturday.
So, they want to tear down Christ and shatter Mary. That speaks volumes about where this is coming from.
The protestors are protesting their God and Mother? Good luck with that.
BTW, your link led me to another,
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/76893/there%e2%80%99s-no-apocalypse-in-fatima%e2%80%99s-3rd-secret
which can only lead one to a conclusion opposite from the title: “There’s no apocalypse in Fatima’s 3rd secret”
People need to scour the list of groups getting grants from the commingling CCHD to see which ones have posted notes of support for the “occupy” movement that is now attacking churches.
The Communist Party is still pretty strong in Italy. No question they’ve sent their activists into the streets to take advantage of this moment. Their hatred of the Church is of long standing.
Same here, BTW. The core of these Occupations is the hard left in all its permutations, including the Community Organizer In Chief.
It is not by your icons but by your deeds that God will know you although I could give a damn about what is left of the Catholics,they have the name..........if that.
As Catholic Spain went nuts and ultimately destroyed everything that reminded them of individual versus Collective sacrifice.
Anyway as I recall at least one Pope WW2 told the US to keep Black Soldiers out of Rome,when it was occupied by American forces,those soldiers are long gone and yet the descendants of those who lived in Rome then are still here.Much as some of the stupider Catholics keep complaining about the Blaques on this forum.
Ultimately the Papacy brings these kinds of things on its own head although otherwise Rome is a very nice city.
If a religion would return to its Universal roots,to God instead of the concept that man makes his own God through imagery through tricks...........then maybe the Vatican won’t be an empty seat forever.
Our Lady of Fatima warned us that the Holy Father including the Catholic Church will have much to suffer.....That is why the Consecration of Russia to the Virgin Mary’s Immaculate Heart must be done without delay! We see right before our very own eyes there is no respect for the Holy Mother of God, we see that many do not respect the Holy Mother most likely they do not respect their earthly Mother as well.....and definately do not respect women period!
