Just days after the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris, a band of five young immigrants desecrated a statue of the Virgin Mary at the parish of San Barnaba in the Italian city of Perugia, breaking it and urinating on it.
The pastor of the church, Father Alessandro Scarda, said that the vandals broke the statue in two and began “kicking it like a soccer ball,” after which they “urinated on the two pieces, which were later recovered, cleaned and glued.” The statuette has been returned to its grotto, a site where locals often gather in prayer.When the youths arrived, a man was praying at the foot of the statue, holding the photo of his deceased wife. The assailants ripped the photo from his hand before turning on the statue of the “Madonnina.”

What were the immigrants? Islamists, Muslims? Inconsequential madmen? Or people who see through the idolatry of the Roman Catholic Church and abhor it?
ReplyDeleteThe piece only states North Africa.
DeleteThanks to this bishop, we know the truth:
ReplyDeleteThe local bishop hastened to disassociate these acts from religiously motivated violence. “We must condemn these acts of vandalism,” he said, “but we will not attribute meaning to them that do not have,” though he also acknowledged other recent “episodes of intolerance towards Christians of our city.”
“We cannot attribute this act of vandalism,” he said, “to religious hatred.” The bishop stressed the importance of not feeding “mutual distrust” between Muslims and Christians. He also suggested that the vandals may not have been religiously motivated because “Muslim believers pray to and venerate the Virgin Mary.”
“We must recognize that for Islam the figure of Mary is very important: she is the Mother of the Prophet Jesus conceived in virginity” and is considered “the most holy woman also by the Muslims,” he said.

Yeah, right, Bishop, you keep thinking that the muslims "venerate the Virgin Mary". You will be one of the first these vandals/immigrants/youths will come to behead.
Just like Stalin.
DeleteThe bishop is NOT dealing / facing reality. As my old man used to say; "I may have been born in the dark, but it wasn't last night." Of course if was done by muslims and it was religious hatred against Christians (aka the people of the Book). If there were any REAL men with a set of balls and sense of honor in Perugia with any real love of the Catholic faith. They would have gone Charlies Martel on them, just to make an example for the rest of the "immigrants" a lesson.
ReplyDeleteConsider this, instead of the figure of Mary (Hey get a clue, the mother of our Lord Jesus) that was your wife, or daughter or girlfriend who was assaulted and pissed on? Would you stand by do nothing and try to explain/excuse their conduct?
There is no excuse or explanation.
DeleteCome over here and let us see them do that. Im not Catholic but Ill darn sure lay them a beatin. Jesus forgives, me not so much.
ReplyDeleteAll they seem to understand is death.
