This is frightening: the 249 year old San Gabriel church has burned, a man in " in Florida plowed his vehicle into the Queen of Peace Catholic Church as it was preparing for morning Mass on Saturday, poured gasoline in the foyer, and then set the building on fire". a Virgin Mary statue in Boston was set ablaze, and another in New York was vandalized. This is soon after the destruction of St Junipero Serra’s statues and the calling by Shaun King of such statues “racist propaganda” that needed to be torn down.

There has been almost no news coverage, except here:


These could all just be one-offs. Yet the tide does seem to be turning against Christians in America/

What does anyone else think?
 
I see it as God trying to give His Catholic people a message. He is allowing some things - withdrawing His protection. For a good reason - as all things with God are done.
 
For the media, the only news that matters is either Black Liberal Marxists, or transgender this and that.
I doubt if many in the media care about any churches burning.
 
This is awful. The Mary Statue is in my home state. I just can’t believe the times we are living in right now.
 
If someone drove their car into a synagogue, burning it with people inside , do you think we’d see the same result in the media?
 
Or a mosque?
Or a church that was African American?

The man who set the fire in the Florida church is mentally ill.

Still, if a mentally ill person set fire to a mosque, African American church, or synagogue, there would be media attention.

Locally, yes. And it was in the local news.

Nationally, maybe and maybe not.
 
Which is actually somewhat out of character. The majority of people who are mentally ill do not engage in violent actions. In fact, the majority of violent crimes are perpetrated by people who are ‘in their right mind’. They are usually selfish, greedy, and callous—but they aren’t mentally ill.

In fact, people often stigmatize the mentally ill when violent crimes happen, “Look at that, the person who did that must be mentally ill”. “That’s just crazy”. “What a nutcase’. . .

It’s a defense mechanism because IF the person who does something terrible is ‘mentally ill’, that means that ‘sane’ people are safe. They won’t ever do anything like that, it’s only ‘mentally ill’ people who do so.

Which of course means we have to worry about people who are mentally ill, right? If somebody is said to have bipolar disease, or schizophrenia, or even depression, well they’re like a loose cannon, right? They’re liable to resort to violence because violence is something mentally ill people do.

But the nice-looking young man at the local college, he would never rape and beat a woman, because he isn’t mentally ill.
The quiet mother down the street with her well-dressed daughter and ladylike speech would never go home and beat her daughter and lock her in a closet all night because she isn’t mentally ill.

I do feel very sorry for the people who were terrorized, and for the man (and his family) who are dealing with these demons. Mental illness can be very hard to treat, and it’s never something that people wanted to deal with—for themselves or their families.
 
Laura Ingraham covered this tonight on Fox, did a whole segment on it with Raymond Arroyo
 
My quick google search shows fox news had both up between one and two days ago.

Youtube as well.
