Church-service assault

Browsing other blogs again tonight, and went to SpeculativeCatholic's where he has a comment that was intriguing. Following his hyperlink, I was flabbergasted!

There are so many many people out there who do NOT really know our Faith, yet think that they do. The same arguments come up on nearly every Catholic yahoo group and other forums ad nauseum. But desecration of this sort is sickening and revolting.

It has happened in many countries, in many centuries before. It has happened to Jewish synagogues, and to other Catholic churches. It has happened to other religions, also. But it is still shocking to know that someone hates something that they know 'nothing' about enough to do this kind of evil.

Why should it shock so much, when it has happened in history, even recent history? In Ireland, in New York City at St Patrick's Cathedral on Dec 10, 1989 while Cardinal O'Connor was still alive, even here in Wisconsin where a brand new church building was desecrated on the outside. A Synagogue nearby was defaced a couple of times over the past years, as well.

Kristallnacht .... Crystal Night... the night of broken glass.... did we not learn anything about hate from that time in our history???
