FRED BLOCHER | The Kansas City StarA statue of St. Bernadette at Redemptorist Church lost part of its face.

What’s left of St. Bernadette’s face fits neatly into Father Terry McCloskey’s palm.
The Redemptorist Church priest keeps the piece of stone — about a three-pound chunk from the ruined statue — handy at the parish office. It’s a visual aide to the extent of damage done by vandals last weekend to a lovely grotto.
At least the broken stone shows some of the physical damage. What McCloskey can’t capture is the hurt his parishioners are feeling.
Probably Saturday night, some fool or fools nearly busted off the head of St. Bernadette’s statue on the grounds of Redemptorist Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. He, she or they also attacked the plaster relief inside the place of prayer, smashing Christ’s head and a portion of the Virgin Mary. The image of St. John was caved in, leaving a gaping hole.

Another False Messiah supporter in action.
So what remedy works best for this nasty piece of work? The stocks? The pillory? The rack? The rope?
Methinks the cat o’nine tails. Forty lashes save one. On next offense, the rope.
Harsh judgment? I think not. This was an attack on what makes us Civilized: what separates us from the beasts of the field, and from muslims. It is our Faith, and our symbols of that Faith.
Yes I say. Grease up the Cat: she has some work to do.
This kind of disrespect and persecution will become much more commonplace in the next few years. In the first week of the new tyrant in office we have surrendered the war on terror, and begun funding abortions over seas. God is not impressed with this lack of faith.
“what mccloskey can’t capture is the hurt his parishioners are feeling.”
his parisioners had better accustom themselves to such expressions of hate.
with the ascension to power of arrogant, psychotic, leftist punks, they’ll see much more of such acts, in both word and deed. (dontcha know it’s fashionable to insult those gun-loving, bible-embracing, red-neck, christian boobs?) /s/
IMHO
Say a prayer for these lost souls.

Welcome to the Obamanation. With a President that pledges to protect captured terrorist on the same day he pledges to spend more money to slaughter unborn babies, this is the society you will have...
Welcome to Hell on Earth..
Obama's Kristallnacht.
Pick handles used to be popular devices of instruction for the seriously wayward down South. Make good firewood if there is a mess on ‘em afterward, too.
Saint Bernadette brought me to Jesus Christ. I will be eternally grateful to her.
That's inconceivable to me...I'd be interested to hear how that works...What it entails...
Great news, the power of her prayers won't be effected by this sacrilege.
Which doesn't come as a surprise to any of us.
