Attacks against Catholic churches approach 300 incidents since May 2020: report
NY Post ^ | 01-23-2023 | Jon Brown Fox News

Hundreds of Roman Catholic churches have been attacked since the violence that erupted nationwide following George Floyd’s death in May 2020, according to a Catholic nonprofit.

Since May 2020, there have been nearly 300 attacks against U.S. Catholic churches as far afield as Emmonak, Alaska, with the most recent tally at 275 as of Sunday, according to a tracker from CatholicVote.

The religious nonprofit organization noted that “while the riots and looting mostly died down in the summer of 2020, the attacks on Catholic churches have continued and escalated.”

The attacks against churches include arson, broken windows, decapitated statues and satanic graffiti. Some 118 incidents were logged since the May 2022 leak of the draft Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade’s federal abortion protections.

While some of the attacks involved theft, the “vast majority” of recorded incidents were simply destruction of property, which the group said indicates “that the primary motive is not material gain,” the report said.

The pope is ok with this, or he would be speaking out.

‘Attacks against Catholic churches approach 300 incidents...’

Payback for the Catholic Church attacks on children.

“Payback for the Catholic Church attacks on children.”

Very possibly the most imbecilic post I have yet read over the last 20 years on FR.

What is the connection between the Catholic Church and the group Catholic Charities? I ask because the latter is getting paid tens of millions of dollars to aid the illegal invasion of our southern border.

Maybe, just maybe the Catholic Church is an enemy of “We the People”.

Payback for the pedos and open border rush. Add that to your 20 year list.

I met a top executive for Catholic Charities once. He was a gay guy who hated Catholics.

The Pope is OK ‘cause the churches are being attacked for protecting pedos — and those are this Pope’s buds.

So, mum is the word. Nothing to see here. Go away.

Your implication being that it is conservatives that oppose Pedophilia and open borders that are
responsible......Brilliant!

No implications at all. Im saying the Catholic church is filled with open border pedos with support from many of it’s like minded members. Got it straight now?

Easy targets - RCC has lots of old churches in urban neighborhoods prone to vandalism. It is not exactly under attack for being MAGA.

Are you being intentially obtuse or just plain stupid.....You said, “Payback FOR the pedos and open border rush”.

“Payback” would be perpetrated by people who are deeply opposed to those two things ie. CONSERVATIVES!
