Evangelical Pastor Destroys Statue of Our Lady

Will there be consequences? Given the anti-clerical stance of most Latin American regimes, I doubt it. Too bad 'pastor' Ospina Gazcon won't do serious jail time for an act that outrages the religious sensibilities of the almost 80% of the Colombian people who are Catholic!

The self-proclaimed Protestant "pastor" ElĂ­as Ospina Gazcon has demonstratively destroyed a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes with a hammer according to HsbNoticias.com (July 18).

The sacrilege took place on a public square in Mompox, Columbia, on July 16, the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

HsbNoticias.com quotes Mompox resident Jaquelin Amaris, "What this bandit has done, is an offense. We respect their religion and do not get involved with these people who, although they do not want to accept it, were baptised in the Catholic Church. Now they believe they are the most cultured and that, after their 'conversion' they can change the world, but they are wrong."

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
