While terror attacks in Canada have been attracting headlines across the world, another epidemic of anti Catholic terrorism has been taking place slightly further south, in New York.
Over the past 12 months, we’ve reported on a number of attacks that have taken place in New York, stretching from Queens to the Bronx, with Catholic statues in particular a target for terrorists.
Now, another attack has taken place, this time with a statue of Our Lady and one of St. Therese of Lisieux being smashed to pieces at Our Lady of Mercy Church in Queens.
The terrorist appears to have arrived at the church three days earlier and thrown them to the ground, only to fail to smash them. This time, they returned and dragged the statues 180 feet before smashing them with a hammer.
The terrorist may have chosen the path of demonic anti Catholic bigotry, but the parishioners have taken the right path in putting a sign that says ‘Please pray for the person who did this’.
A video has been released of the disturbed individual carrying out the hate crime, an attack which has deeply upset Catholics in a parish that had those statues outside them since 1937.
It is not yet known if the terrorism is linked to media lies about ‘mass murders’ in Canada, but Catholics need to start calling out these attacks for what they are: terrorism.
