Statues of Virgin Mary, St. Francis, and Angels Beheaded in Australia.

'Anti-Catholicism is on the rise... It’s worldwide. ... The only question is whether we stand for the faith or acquiesce to the world’s demands.'

These attacks took place at two different churches.

News.comau:

Weeks out from Christmas, a number of ornate stone sculptures belonging to two historic churches have been destroyed.
The culprits struck St Matthew’s and St Patrick’s Catholic Church in Albury, which are 170 and 140 years old respectively, decapitating tributes to St Francis of Assisi, The Virgin Mary and angels on Tuesday.

Father Peter Macleod-Miller told NCA Newswire on Thursday the actions were “mean” and “an act of violence.”

St. Matthews was burned to the ground in the early 1990’s and, according to news reports, “targeted by arsonists again a number of years ago.”

Anti-Catholicism is on the rise, folks. It’s worldwide. Nowhere to hide. The only question is whether we stand for the faith or acquiesce to the world’s demands.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. 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.
