I appreciate the comments of thoughtful non-Catholics like yourself.
I agree that the desecration went beyond a motivation of simple robbery. Robbery can be done "rationally" (so to speak) by removing objects which have resale value -- there's no reason a mere theft would involve trashing, smashing, and acts of apparent contempt.
A wise friend once told me that you can surmise demonic involvement when people do evil things, not for personal enrichment, convenience, pleasure or comfort (which would be fully explicable in natural terms) but, so to speak, "for the sheer hell of it." Those who desecrated this church are proving the existence of transcendent evil.

What is the difference between evil and evil that is transcendent, Mrs. Don-o?

Exactly. They really hate Christ and can’t physically harm Him so they strike out at churches.

Is this a hate crime?No, that only happens when those mean old Roman Catholics dare to suggest that homosexuality is a sin.

“’Is this a hate crime?’

That’s sort of what I was getting at....

Prayers. This was more than a robbery.
