Another Act of Vandalism: Nebraska Catholic Church’s Altar Flipped Over, Statue Destroyed
Catholic News Agency ^ | 4/3/23 | Joe Bukuras

Boston, Mass., Apr 3, 2023 / 15:30 pm The pastor of a Catholic church in Syracuse, Nebraska, was shocked when he discovered Saturday morning that the altar had been tipped over, a statue desecrated, and several other objects damaged.

“Somehow, in the Lord’s providence, this was allowed,” Father Ryan Salisbury, pastor of St. Paulinus Catholic Church, told CNA April 3.

“It happened in Our Lord’s own Holy Week. His own journey was marked by injustice, by brokenness, and by damage done to his own body, and that was allowed to happen here in Syracuse in some ways,” he added.

A Sacred Heart of Jesus statue was broken beyond repair and candlesticks were damaged as well as the altar stone. The damage amounted to $5,000, he said. The tabernacle and the Eucharist remained untouched.

Police are currently investigating the crime, which was not captured on video, Salisbury said.

The church was able to be cleaned up in time before a Mass and baptism on Saturday. Salisbury offered a message of forgiveness to the perpetrators of the crime.

Its East of Lincoln, south of Omaha.

"Syracuse is a city in Otoe County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 1,762 at the 2000 census."

Could be Muslim meatpackers, a lot of packing places in eastern NE. More likely off scourings from Lincoln; Angry Atheists Agitating for Abortion screaming at icons.

Marxists have no tolerance for God or religion. God, family, and traditional values are not compatible with their goals.

Nebraska was once considered conservative. Stinkin Lincoln is a liberal haven these days.
