Sculptures and saints statues were overturned, pictures were torn off the walls and a pane hit. In consultation with the police we call the communities, believers, sacristans etc. to special attention. The police are investigating and will continue to inform during the day. Consult the press office of the police inspector Bamberg."

Well deserved, not enough damage done. The Catholic Church deserves massive punishment on an unprecedented scale, for its apostacy and arrogance.
ReplyDeleteI hope the property destruction continues, until the entire Church repents and returns to historical orthodox Catholicism, or until Catholicism is exterminated, functionally, particularly related to the clergy.
What exists now, even among the most faithful, is a disgrace.
Until all annulments granted since about 1970 are, themselves declared null, and the process completely overhauled under lay authority, Catholicism is meaningless.

Nice thought, but the reform, if it does occur, will have to come from the top.
DeleteI agree with Karl to a certain extent but I hate to think of precious relics being destroyed.
