Topless woman allegedly smashes Jesus statue in North Dakota cathedral
NY Post ^ | January 26, 2023 | Patrick Reilly

Surveillance footage provided to police by the church showed Reynolds, 35, enter the church and knock over a potted plant.

She then approached a large statue of Jesus, ripped it off the wall and smashed it on the ground, according to court documents. She can then be seen leaving the church in the video.

Police detained Reynolds after she tried to run away and said she was unable to answer basic questions.

Police estimate the statue could cost up to $11,500 to repair or replace, according to KVRR.

Reynolds was charged with criminal mischief, driving under the influence and providing false information to police officers, jail records show.

Church officials told Valley News Live the Cathedral has a policy of welcoming all guests.

“We don’t want this to be a closed cathedral, we want it to be open to all people at all times,” Paul Braun, the director of communications for the Diocese of Fargo, told the news outlet. “We just hope that people show the reverence and respect that they should for a house of God.”

This is not the first time a statue at the church has been vandalized — two years ago a statue of Jesus was spray painted black, according to Valley News Live.

“In all these incidents, we hope that the people who a

It’s a Native American “dream catcher”.

Looks like a spirograph doodle. But I suppose it might be meant to be a Native American dreamcatcher.

Well, Jesus did that one and the man became a Christian. That would have prevented the demon from coming back with reinforcements as the house, while swept clean, would no longer be empty.

We don’t know what eventually happened to the girl Paul cast the demon out of. Did she convert or end up in worse shape than before?

I’m not saying that it’s not possible to cast a demon out of someone like that, but unless they are ready to repent and be saved, it will do them no favors.

That I don’t know.

I don’t know if the possessed person has enough agency or free will left to be able to do that.

That tattoo depicts an Indian dream catcher.

Not fluent in Satanic symbology, however I question that large tat on her chest.

Question no more. Anything with the 'horns' will do for these degenerates. Another clue is the attacking of a Christian religious symbol. Add it all together and whaddya get....?

no horns, they’re feathers. It’s a dream catcher on her chest, not satan. She’s still guilty

I remember building some schools in Gillette, Wyoming during the oil and coal boom of the early 70s when the populations. increased eightfold in 48 months.

You could go into the Shoney’s or Denny’s at 10:30 am on a Thursday but to some oilfield’s work cycle that was their Payday Friday night. You could have crazy drunk fights at anytime of the day or week.

Boom town economies are fun. LOL

And for those of you who refuse to acknowledge occult/satanic symbolism, here is a typical Indian dreamcatcher. Note the significant and noticable lack of a 'two horn' aspect. Google dreamcatcher and see if you can find one lookin' like a devil head. Betcha can't.

Wrongo, sport. The tattoo is in the aspect of a demon (not necessarily Satan). The two feathers, as you like to call them symbolize demon horns. These satan worshipers adorn themselves with the symbols of he who they worship.

Part of the world's problem is, good people fail to recognize the evil that right out there in the open. Is it a function of innocence, ya think?
