Attacks on religions are increasing quickly. A tracker recently found that Catholic Churches have been attacked 400 times since 2020, according to Mary Margaret Olohan. The attacks on the churches began in May 2020 with the civil unrest that seemed to be everywhere. Olohan reported the following:
The hundreds of attacks across the nation
began in connection with widespread civil unrest in May 2020, CatholicVote
said. Examples include church burnings, beheadings of statues of Jesus Christ
or the Virgin Mary, swastikas painted on grave stones, satanic and blasphemous
statements graffitied on walls, windows smashed, Masses disrupted, and even the
murder of a Catholic priest.
The leak of the draft Supreme Court
opinion overturning Roe v. Wade led to another spike in attacks – since then,
there have been 236 attacks on Catholic churches.
CatholicVote has only found evidence of an
arrest in about 25% of the cases it tracked and estimates that the attacks have
caused around $25 million in physical damages to churches.
Many of these attacks are abortion-related
and include graffiti such as “Jane’s Revenge” (a reference to Jane Roe of Roe
v. Wade) or “If abortions aren’t safe, then neither are you,” indicating that
the attackers could potentially be charged with violating the Freedom of Access
to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a law protecting churches, pro-life pregnancy
centers, and abortion clinics that the Department of Justice has used to charge
dozens of pro-lifers praying outside of abortion clinics over the past few
years.
President Joe Biden’s DOJ has not charged
any vandals with FACE Act violations in connection to attacks on churches,
however.
The
attacks are currently on the Catholic Church, but they will spread to other
churches as the hatred of God increases. All Americans of faith are in danger
of persecution
