WHY PRO-ABORTION ACTIVISTS DESECRATE CHURCHES
First things ^ | 5.12.22 | Carl Trueman

Posted on 06/27/2022 1:43:26 PM PDT by Cronos

Since the news broke that the Supreme Court may be poised to overturn Roe v. Wade, some pro-abortion activists have responded by vandalizing Catholic churches and disturbing Masses.

... sartorial choices of some of the activists (dresses inspired by a sermonizing Margaret Atwood novel) speak to the infantilism of our age.

...In striking at the Catholic Church at worship, the protesters have identified an obvious player in the history of anti-abortion activism. The Catholic Church, and many Catholics, from high-profile figures such as Robert George to countless unknown laypeople who help at crisis pregnancy centers or engage in fundraising work, have been the beating heart of the pro-life movement for decades. And the Catholic judges on the Supreme Court are the key ingredient in the impending decision. But there is surely more to the targeting of churches than the mere fact of Catholic involvement in current events. The protesters target churches because they want to profane the sacred.

Any Irish Catholic with a modicum of catechesis can tell you what this is about.

And why it's the Catholic churches that are being targeted...

No doubt...And because churches are soft targets, as are unborn humans.

I wouldn’t suggest they target my little Baptist church. Most everyone in the 180 congregation packs heat.

Pick the wrong Catholic Church at the wrong time and you will win your last stupid prize.

Because the Catholic Church is recognized as having been consistently pro-life for decades.

For the unchurched it is too difficult to reach that conclusion for other denominations.

It's because the Catholic churches are the only ones that contain Truth in His entirety; the demons know this.

Despite the heroic and selfless efforts of those who attend them, other houses of worship lack the Truth; the devil knows that they will compromise after a period of time.
