He specifically argued from a Protestant context in support of the activity, citing the Protestant desecration of the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket in Canterbury as an admirable historical precedent.
I am not issuing a blanket condemnation of nonCatholics or Protestants - I am condemning that subset of Protestants who seem to believe that desecrating Catholic churches is a noble activity. Fortunately, the vast majority of Protestants nowadays seem to realize how evil this behavior is. Sadly, and Goblins is my witness on this thread, there remains a lunatic fringe within Protestantism which is not yet aware of Christian morality.
I think you may be trying to demean or belittle this incident, and your reference implies your attempting to diminish something that really should be discussed and addressed.
Its also worth noting I checked the Diocese and affiliated web pages for that area and couldnt find any references to the incidents last year your referring to.
Glad to know you automatically distrust me. Why don't you try this link? It's Bishop Thomas Dailey's account of the vandalism which occurred in Brooklyn and Queens in February and March last year. You know, the Bishop of the diocese which is, according to you, completely unaware of any such incident.
Right now, Primas St. Croix - a member of the same "Bible-only" Christian sect which murdered a nun during Mass last year in St. Lucia - is awaiting trial for the desecrations. He has refused to give up the names of other members of his group who helped him desecrate the churches. It is presumed that they have fled to the Carribean.
