Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Aug 31, 2022 / 16:05 pm A group of Republican lawmakers sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday condemning what they described as the Department of Justice’s inaction over the steady rise of anti-Catholic attacks and hate crimes.
The letter, authored by Rep. Lisa McClain of Michigan, who is Catholic, and co-signed by 19 other GOP members, called out Garland’s failure to respond to the increase in vandalism and other attacks on Catholic churches and institutions since May 2020.
“Millions of Christians are under assault for merely exercising their constitutional right to freely practice their religion,” the letter reads. “We are forced to wonder if your Department of Justice will ever address the over one hundred crimes against Christian holy sites in America.”
One such crime happened in May of this year when a tabernacle was stolen from inside St. Augustine Church in Brooklyn, New York. The Holy Eucharist was also desecrated and statues on either side of the tabernacle were decapitated.
McClain’s letter cites a tracker maintained by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) documenting more than 160 attacks against the Catholic Church, a number that has steadily risen since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24.

Yeah, they’ll get right on that. Right after they indict Hillary Clinton for, well, anything.
Why only 19 Republicans?
Catholics have rights?
Just like other Americans. Well, they used to, before bathhouse Barry usurped the White House.
Rut-Roh.
LOL!
We better run for the border
“Why only 19 Republicans?”
It is pretty pathetic.
Merrick can start with Adolph Biden.
We haven’t seen anything yet. When the Satanic Party solidifies their hold in the House and Senate in November it will become alot worse. They will begin an all out assault on Christians and Jews. Nothing will stop them.
Can’t GOD just zap the evildoers!?
He could (but for now) He won’t because He is not willing that anyone perish but that they should all come to repentance unto life (II Peter 5:9.)
But when He decides “enough is enough” His judgment will fall on these impenitent sinners like a ton of bricks.
