MADISON, Wis. — Police hope to find out who vandalized a Catholic church in Madison over the weekend with messages critical of anti-abortion beliefs.
However, it is hardly the only church targeted in Wisconsin following the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Five Catholic churches across the state have had to deal with damage recently, which Julaine Appling can empathize with.
“I think what we have is some copycat things,” Appling said. “If it's not the same people, it's certainly copycat.”
Appling serves as president of Wisconsin Family Action, an organization that strives to advance Judeo-Christian values, according to its website; its Madison office was vandalized nearly eight weeks ago.
“It's not changing hearts and minds," Appling explained. "It's not changing the situation. It's not undoing the Dobbs decision. It's not going to make a difference in how we approach legislation. It's not going to change our position or the position of a church.”
Appling is still worried vandalism, like what happened at St. Bernard Catholic Church, will eventually lead to someone getting physically hurt.
“What I said at the time was, 'I hope it doesn't happen to anybody else,'” Appling said. “Somebody's going to get hurt eventually, because it's just ratcheting up you know— the tension when these things happen.”
Over the weekend, abortion rights and anti-police messages were spray-painted on St. Bernard Catholic Church.
