A Catholic church in a small Missouri town suffered a terrible act of vandalism last weekend, in which human feces were spread throughout the church interior, including on the Blessed Sacrament within the tabernacle, sacred vessels, and the Bible. Sacred oils were also poured out on the floor, and wine was poured on sacred linens and vestments.
The woman who confessed to police to having perpetrated the crime said she was both a practitioner of Wicca and a parishioner of the Catholic church she vandalized. This weekend, the local bishop led a special ritual of purification for the church.

Funny how these nuts never attack a mosque...
And a drug addict, one suspects.
Yea I know.
Same reason why the PETA nuts attack little old ladies in fur coats instead of Bikers in leather jackets.
“And a drug addict, one suspects. “
I figured that, but which one(s)?
[ both a practitioner of Wicca and a parishioner of the Catholic church
And a drug addict, one suspects. ]
Ba’alist, Lord of the Worms Loving, poop worshiping, piece of trash...
Could be a whole cauldron-full.
Both Wiccan and Catholic? I wonder if the Pope would encourage such ecumenism, seeing that its result is typical of such efforts?
A Wiccan ? Burn her* !
*Anyone that smears feces around needs killing.
Possession through wicca practices.
But here's a thought - maybe she really did go to pray for help, and the demon in her went wild in response. The Catholic Church still does exorcisms, maybe she needs one.
Mess with demons, see what you get. The fascination with poop and the assault on sacraments and sacramental is demonic.
May God intervene powerfully in her life, flood her with the grace of repentance and conversion. Her present trajectory will end badly.
“said she was both a practitioner of Wicca and a parishioner of the Catholic church she vandalized. “
I nominate this statement as non-sequitur of the month.
I would have said, “year,” but Hillary has a long way to go to election day.

It is well that the priest and congregation are praying and hoping to help this woman. Holy Spirit, come wiih healing. She mus be such a wreck inside.
Christe eleison.
She needs prayer.
Well said. Sending prayers.
She needs prayer.
Yes, she does.
And time in jail to reflect and atone for her evil actions.
*Anyone that smears feces around needs killing.
Your asterisk didn't help, BTW. It's Catholicism, not Islam.
From the article: “[W]e must now give strong Christian witness within our community and parish,” Fr. Peckman exhorted his parishioners on his Facebook wall the afternoon of the day the vandalism was discovered. “We must pray for those who perpetrated this attack. We cannot give into the anger or fear such as an attack can muster. We cannot respond to sin with sin. We will rise above this and show not only the larger community but the attacker themselves that the fullness of God’s mercy can be found at St. Clement.”
Later that same day, he added: “When attacked, we do not allow our attackers to change us for the worse. Rather we change for the better and stronger. Make no mistake, I fully intend on making our response to the attack on our parish church a profound moment of evangelization and witness to the power of God’s mercy.”
The same day, Fr. Peckman praised his parishioners on his blog regarding how they have responded with mercy and love for the vandal. “My parishioners have responded beyond any hopes that I would have expected. Not one asked what we were going to do to the woman who visited this tragedy upon us. Not one. Instead I had multiple request as to how we might help her.
“This is the way of Christ. No vengeance. No fear. No overreaction. Just mercy and forgiveness.”
New for communion: “Nuttela with corn and peanuts!”
What did the priest say when he walked into the church?
- HOLY SH!T!
The police are quoted: “This was a real sh!storm!”
Residents: “Now the church smells like my local pub!”
