Saint Simon's Church In Scotland Vandalized!

My dear people of Glasgow, it is heart breaking to see these photos on Facebook about Saint Simon's being vandalized.  Report by Church Militant On The Vandalism

"In an email response to Church Militant, a member of the Scottish Catholic apostolate Sancta Familia Media (SFM) recounted the damages incurred at St. Simon's in Glasgow under the condition of anonymity: "The church is open daily and this vandalism happened during day hours. A statue of the Sacred Heart was smashed. A Marian shrine and altar attire were scattered."
Addressing the Holy Family vandalism, Church Militant's source wrote: "Last week, our parish had 'F*& The Pope' scrawled in big letters on a bus stop outside our Church."

"As noted by Glaswegian police, there's no concrete evidence supporting whether the crimes were random attacks by destructive vandals or premeditated attacks against Catholic-specific targets.
However, Catholic churches, relics, clergy and laity have been subjected to decades of sectarian hostility in Scotland. For example, the Orange Order is a Protestant group frequently at odds with Catholics in Northern Ireland and Scotland. The Orange Order is named after William III of Orange, who defeated James II, the last Catholic monarch of England, Scotland and Ireland, in 1690 at the Battle of the Boyne. The battle is commemorated each June 12, most prominently in Northern Ireland and Scotland."  Bruce Walker For Church Militant News

It is true that Anti-Catholicism is on the rise in Great Britain, due to the rise of Islam and also secularism; where Catholics are being attacked, charged with calling someone the right gender according to Christian Teaching, but "wrong" gender according to secularists. 

So, be vigilant, do not shy away from your Faith, do security watches at your churches, get security cameras, so your parishes are protected and handover the video to the police to catch the bad guys.

Stay strong, do these security measures, protect your churches.

UPDATE:

It looks to be Protestant Attacks on the Church, but with this attack happening in the day time, you need to patrol your churches, have cameras; both image taking and video, and hand directly to the Police to catch these attackers. 


God bless you,

Andrew
