LEICESTER, United Kingdom – A Catholic Church in the English city of Leicester says it has experienced a “crime wave” after a series of incidents of vandalism.
The Dominican-run church is located in the city’s downtown area and has historically been the center of Catholicism in Leicester.
On Dec. 29, the windows of the church’s Lady chapel were smashed in the morning, and the suspect – who was later arrested by police – shouted verbal abuse at staff members.
“Due to the verbal abuse which occurred when the male perpetrator was challenged, the police were called. To be fair to the police, they sent 3 cars within a few minutes,” said a message posted on the church’s Facebook page.
The vandalism was logged both as criminal damage and a hate crime since the offender used the term “parasitic Christians.”
The church estimates the repairs to the windows will cost more than £2000 ($2725).
The Dominicans said this was just the latest in a series of incidents affecting the church.
In late November, two men entered the church on a Sunday morning and walked around the church without masks – in violation of COVID-19 restrictions – and picked up the cross from the high altar, taking pictures of themselves around the church carrying it around the church.
One of them also sat on top of the high altar where the blessed sacrament is reserved.

Christophobic hate crime
An english socialist railing about christian parasites.
Yeah, thats not at all projection...
Socialists, if they call themselves communists or soviets or national socialists, are ultimately all the same in that respect.
Socialism is at its core trying to replace the Lord’s provision and providence with man’s welfare and expertise, to get men to trust and rely on government rather than God ... and is always doomed to fail both in time and in eternity.
