Virginia church vandalized after Supreme Court ruling on abortion
Washington Post ^ | June 27, 2022 | Paul Duggan

A church in Fairfax County, Va., was vandalized with abortion-related graffiti over the weekend, according to authorities, who said a smoldering fire also was found outside the building.

County police and firefighters were called to St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Reston at 6:45 a.m. Sunday and found graffiti on a sign at the church entrance and in “three additional locations on the back of the building,” police said in a statement. They said a smoldering fire, for which “an accelerant was likely used,” was found in mulch outside the church.

Police said the spray-painted graffiti related to Friday’s Supreme Court decision overturning the constitutional right to an abortion, which sparked angry protests in cities across the country. Photographs taken by WJLA showed the base of a church sign had been spray painted with the words, “THIS WONT STOP.”

“We continue to have increased patrols at places of worship, connect with community faith leaders, and are working with our regional law enforcement partners to determine who is responsible,” police said in a statement.

Are you trying to be wrong? You’re succeeding, so I hope it’s deliberate.

The demonic left know their target. The bishops have been derelict in their duties. We the Faithful have kept the Right to Life a front-and-center issue for 50 years.

You’re welcome

Because they can. Because they know that Lying Joe Biden's Goons in the DOJ has their backs. Because they know if the Church Members defend themselves from their attacks, Lying Joe Biden's Goons will have the Church Members in the Washington, D.C. Jail with the January 6th Trump Supporters. For starters.

If this were, lets say, a house of worship in another religion, it would be headline news on cable tv.

Why so defensive? We just agreed the Church has been derelict. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

We agreed to no such thing, as I informed you above. You've gone from merely being wrong to actively lying. Get bent.

Not impressed with your efforts or your leadership. The Church has been against American conservatism on nearly every important issue from immigration, to gun control, to homosexuality, to abortion, to constitutional governance. Quit whining. Be thankful Trump handed us one in this matter and get to work on on those other things. Sheesh, the whining is strong in this one.

Who cares what you're "impressed" with. Who the hell do you think you are?

You're a pissant nobody slandering people who have been keeping Right to Life a front-and-center issue for 50 years.

Sheesh ... the arrogant, unintelligent, bigoted pig-ignorant stupidity is exceptionally strong in you. Your best move, which you're too dumb to take, would be to shut the hell up now, before you commit any more sins of false witness.

“The bishops have been derelict in their duties.”

Oh, wait, I get it. You’re separating the Bishops, and the Cardinals, and the Pope, from “the Church”. Or from people like you who “go to church.” I can see why you’re confused now. Get a grip on yourself.

Maybe this would have made more sense to you if the crazy lefties were to have attacked “people who go to church” instead of buildings owned by “the Catholic Church” who does nothing to help American conservatives in this or any fight against Marxism.

For nearly 50 years, our nation has suffered under the enormous weight of a wrongly reasoned Supreme Court decision. Roe v. Wade imposed legalized abortion on all 50 states, effectively denying the electorate the freedom and power to debate and decide the controversial issue. Since that decision, more than 63 million babies have died from the horrible brutality of abortion.

The Supreme Court today has overturned that destructive and profoundly unjust decision and restored to the people the power to enact life-affirming laws in their states and in Congress.

We thank God for this welcome decision.

Why? Why go after the Roman Catholic Church? Because Satan knows who his real enemies are.

HE believes in the real presence and knows where Jesus lives.

THIS!!! This is why I am a Catholic, and why no other church ever does it for me. The Catholic church is always the center and object of their hate, violence and mahem. It’s for a reason — Jesus is the reason.

Signs if the garbage of the communist left dimocrats. You will find their fingerprints all over this. You will not find good people’s prints on it. They may say it won’t stop, but I got news for the little fellows, the LORD Jesus Christ that controls this world will return one day and this bunch, without repentance, will be in the head of the line headed for the Lake of Fire for damaging His house!
