At least four Catholic churches in four states were vandalized over the weekend in a string of attacks that have authorities wondering whether religious icons and statues are next to be targeted by anti-racism and anti-fascist protesters.
Fox News reports that churches in California, New York, Massachusetts, and Florida were all targeted by vandals, and several historic churches suffered major damage in arson attacks.
In Los Angeles, the historic San Gabriel Church, which was about to turn 250 years old, was targeted in an arson attack. In Boston, a statue of the Virgin Mary a monument to veterans of World War II, displayed in the courtyard of a Catholic church there was torched and desecrated.
A second statue of the Virgin Mary was desecrated on Sunday, this time in New York City, at the Cathedral Preparatory School and Seminary in Brooklyn.

Oh man. This is not a good idea, and it won’t last long.
San Gabriels’
Was arson,
Not Surprised.
.
Hate crime.
The Government declared Churches to be “non-essential”.
Now the Vandals have agreed.
First, they came for the Catholics....
These idiots know not what forces they are dealing with.
My pastor says it is going to get REALLY BAD.
The power of Almighty God will have THE last say.
The Pope is pleased I’m sure.
My brother and his Hispanic wife were married at the San
Gabriel Mission. He and his children were baptized there.
My sister-in-law’s mom has volunteered thousands of hours
of service there.
It’s a very important revered place to the Hispanic people
in the region.
The last time I was there I ran into a Native American
there and talked to him and his friend for a half hour
or more.
We touched on the history of the colonizers in the region
and his thoughts on them.
His comments to me were this. He looks at the Hispanic,
and Native American improvements on the they owned here
and in Mexico, and compares it to what the colonizers did
with the land they have today.
In his opinion, there was no question about who improved
their space more.
I asked him to be frank with me, and told him I wouldn’t
take offense. I just wanted to hear his thoughts on
things.
He was a really down to earth nice person.
I’m not convinced this was arson, but three of the
California Missions have burned recently, so you can
pretty well take it from there.
This mission was undergoing some restoration / repair
work, so it is possible it wasn’t arson. I’m still betting
it was arson.
And investigation is under way.
If it was arson, the people who did it and some of the
most ignorant people breathing.
I agree with your pastor.
You see it isn’t even about the United States, remember this is happening all across Europe too.
It’s about being WHITE or more precisely...evil has been loosed. The persecution hasn’t even begun in force yet.
Godless nations fall.
They denied God three times in their platform under 0bama. I’ll never forget that moment.
And then a cock crowed.
Shades of Spain in the 1930s
This is savage Marxism which is as always determined to extirpate the ‘opium of the people.’ People, we are at war.
