Church Burning

Timothy Birdnow

This movement now shows it's true face. It is not about fairness to "people of color" or anything else, but is a rebellion against order, against law, and against the God who so ordained things.

Virgin Mary Statue Set on Fire at Boston Church

The arms, hands and face of the statue have burn marks. The plastic flowers placed in the hands of the statue were set on fire.

The fire is the latest in a series of acts of vandalism against the Catholic Church, according to the Catholic News Agency. On July 10, New York City police said they were investigating the vandalizing of a statue of the Virgin Mary at Cathedral Prep School and Seminary in Queens.

In Florida, a 24-year-old man was arrested after he drove into a church and lit it on fire with people inside. No one was injured during the incident.

But there's more.

Catholic churches burned, vandalized over weekend as police investigate: 'Where's the outrage?'

Following George Floyd's police-related death in May, Black Lives Matter leaders and protesters called for the toppling of statues, from Confederate symbols to former U.S. presidents and abolitionists. Activist Shaun Kingcalledfor all images depicting Jesus as a "White European" and his motherto be torn down because they're forms of "White supremacy" and "racist propaganda."

Meanwhile, peopleon social media point out the lack of mainstream coverage of the weekend incidents.

"Churches are being burned to the ground. What?," Mike Cernovich, a controversial right-leaning author, said in a video on Twitter. "Why is this not the biggest story of the day."

Sean Feucht, a California worship leader and pastor, commenting on the incidents asked, "Where's the outrage?"

Where's the outrage indeed! Those churches were conveniently empty because of the Coronavirus lockout - a patently unconstitutional abrogation of our rights to freedom of religion. It was inevitable that this would happen.

Notre Dame started this off. It appears likely that Notre Dame was an act of arson, and it went unpunished - one of the most famous churches in the world. And now we have vandalism across the country in churches.

Again, our enemy shows his true face.

I remember when Al Gore was running for President and the Democrats ran a vile campaign ad with a black man saying "every time you don't vote Democrat another church buns". This in response to a black church being torched. If it was bad then (and trying to profit from it politically was reprehensible) why isn't it bad now? I guess it is o.k. only when the burners are Democrats?
