What would seem to be among the safest places in America came under attack Sunday morning at Annunciation of the Lord Catholic Church on Spring Avenue Southwest.
After communion at the 11 a.m. Mass, a man and woman came forward, screaming.
Then, to the shock and horror of the Rev. Joe Culotta and his congregation, the man turned over the cherished century-old marble altar. It tumbled down the steps and smashed onto the floor, ripping up carpet in front of the first-row pews.

Ping.
so it begins. expect more as the christ-haters grow stronger.
sooner or later we'll have our own kristalnicht (or however you spell it)
Sick, sick, sick.
Manson Klan wanna be's.
He was nuts too, I think.
"..When I opened my eyes, I noticed a man and woman sitting in the front pew I didn't recognize," he said. "Ten or 15 seconds later, they came up to the platform of the sanctuary, saying 'This is idolatry, you are worshipping false ideas, and these are end times.' He went in the back of the altar and pushed it over. It was unreal..."
I wonder how much more of this lurks outside? It wasn't Nazis...
t'warnt Nazis, I agree. it is p[art opf our own home-grown version.
You reap what you sow... They desecrated a house of God and they will pay in some way, some day.
Liberals hate Catholics.
Gotta love the descriptions:
"It was shocking to me. He had on dark pants and a dark blue shirt with scribbling on the front," Morris said. "He had long dark hair that fell past his shoulders, so dark it appeared as if it might have been dyed.
"He reminded me of someone from the 1960s, a pot-smoking hippie. He was about 6 feet tall and very thin."
Morris said the woman wore bluejean shorts and "crazy tights with big black diamonds all over them, like the Joker in a deck of cards, and a T-shirt."
Couldn't he have written a letter to the editor instead...
Have you been in a Catholic Church?
I hope they bring serious charges against these 'people'. The Christ did not always turn the other cheek, we need to have gumption and prudence to know when to do the same.
After reading the article I have the distinct feeling that the church will not press charges.
If only we still had public stocks, like the Puritans did to curb criminal activity. They don't seem to be worth a rope, but garden rubbish to the face might work.
Yeah -- FR has more than it's fair share of Catholic-bashers. I'm sure they'll slither out of the woodwork and spit their bile on this thread.
