Pachamama be swimmin' wit' de fishes, heh.
Pachamama - Pokemon... what’s in a word?
Chicken so good it’ll make you Pachamama!.......................
Interesting how the author fails to identify “some men” who perpetrated the implied dastardly deed. Presumably Catholics, they weren’t just random outsiders vandalizing a practically random place, they were parishioners clearing what they construed as vandalism out of _their_ place.
Over time the disregard of law by those in charge eventually brings about disregard of law by those subject to it.
Would that the Democrats could flash to this simple truth... Save us all a hell of a lot of trouble.

Please!! Stop using crude hate against Catholicism.
These are not idols.
They are art.
They are strictly used only in veneration and not worship!!!
These statues are used because the Apostles taught their use - passing by oral tradition from generation to generation by our Catholic leaders.
Not in a homicidal way or anything... but it would be nice to see the men who allowed the statues in the sanctuary thrown into the Tiber also!
But this was a great day for someone to take action and defend the church.
Wow! I cant believe that the prissy Ralph Peters, who has protected Francis tooth and nail despite reservations, has gotten to the heart of the matter.
There are many traditionalists out there now saying that the act of these brave men (who may have been the dreaded Novus Ordo Catholics) was wrong, that they have resisted the Pope, that theyve committed all sorts of sins....I honestly dont know what these (admittedly, self-proclaimed) trads are all about.
What about the Faith? Who is going to defend the Faith? These men did.
Indeed, reading through Aquinas' writings on theft and robbery it is hard to justify this act.
However, if we believe the faithful are in a "just war" then these statues may be fair game..but I am very hesitant to declare war on Mother Church right now. Why? Because what is to stop the modernists from sacking Rome when we get a trad Pope?
Just as Deplorables get peeved when some leftist defaces Trump signs, if the tables were turned and some Jesuit dumped a St Pius X statue into the moat, we'd be hopping mad.
Now, we've given ammo to the opposition, you know "trads are thieves, shut them down, arrest these miscreants, blah blah blah..." and we've given tacit approval for the modernists to strike back when they're out of power.
There has to be a better way.
See what happens when you don’t caucus a thread.
They come crawling out of their dark crevices like cockroaches.
Now if the guys running the church would have just put on the sign outside:
I'd bet the pews would be overflowing.
