And this in the face of the fact that worldwide there are people who are demon-possessed, worshippers of unclean things still standing at the front of altars controlled by the “SEE”, opening their mouths and having something called “His Body” put in their mouths every Sunday morning.

Yes, in the villages of Sto. Nino, San Benito, and San Francisco (”Three Saints”/Sapac), Batangas Province, Philippines (villages where we worked for six years straight), there are are drunken, drug-addicted (that is, they are public drunks and drug abusers, openly before the villages), gamblers, who go to witch doctors and drink the blood of animals in rites similar to Voodoo rites in Haiti. Some of these are involved in calling up unclean spirits, and invite their possession.

These still attend the Catholic churches on Sundays and are allowed to take the “Eucharist.”

Now, what has that got to do with graffiti?

The fact that we observed such while living in those villages and we report it, does not incline us to violence or vandalism. It does incline us toward Christian evangelism. Which is what we were involved in there for six years, planted a church among believers in those villages, and when the church was indigenous and self-supporting with its own national pastor, we moved on.

You can check the records of the Philippines National Police and inquire as to whether any American has been involved in vandalizing any churches in Batangas Province.

If we know of such, we would do what we could to prevent it or stop it, and would never tolerate such.

Again, what does my mention of demon-possessed people being given the Eucharistic elements got to do with vandalism?

Unless you intended to print my comments out of context and leave the impression that I was inferring all Catholics to be demon possessed. That would be very hateful of you indeed.
