.- Some 70 college students stormed into the chapel of Madrid’s Complutense University on March 10, shouting insults against the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI and priests.
Several females from the group stood on the altar, undressed from the waist up.
Another female student who was in the chapel praying at the time told the Spanish daily ABC that two of the young women on the altar “boasted about their homosexual tendencies.”
The group of students stormed into the chapel with a megaphone and pushed the chaplain out of the way. They proceeded to shout insults against the Catholic Church and her teachings. The group also placed posters in the pews and on the bulletin board at the entrance to the chapel.
The entire incident was caught on film.
Another student interviewed by ABC asked, “what would have happened had this taken place in a mosque? These people should know that Catholics will never respond to a provocation with another provocation just to defend themselves.”
“Nobody will silence us by acting with hostility, mockery, intimidation or any other illegitimate pressure that offends the religions sensibilities of everyone,” she continued. “Moreover, acts like these are punishable by law. How easy and cowardly it is to do something like this anonymously!”
University administrators condemned the act and said an investigation will be carried to identity those responsible. They reiterated the university’s commitment to respect for freedom of worship and belief and urged students to be tolerant of each other’s religious sentiments. “The neutrality of the government in religious matters means no specific belief can be imposed or subjected to persecution.
“Tolerance and respect are absolutely indispensable,” they said.
ABC reported it was not the first time the chapel has been the target of anti-Christian acts. Last week the doors and walls of the chapel were painted with anti-Catholic graffiti.
The Archdiocese of Madrid released a statement condemning the desecration of the chapel and filed a formal complaint with the university. “These actions are an attack on freedom of worship and a profanation of a sacred place, which carries with it canonical penalties for any baptized parties who took part.”
The archdiocese called it “shameful that in a democratic society where there is supposed to be respect for others, for religious institutions and for the right to celebrate one’s faith in public,” a group of young people would tarnish the good name and hard work of the Complutense University.
Ping!
This is precisely the way the Leftwingtards started the last Spanish Civil War ~ and pretty much the reason they lost it.
They'll lose this one too.
Yeah. Just wait until Spain is run by the muzzies and then try this, you stupid, lickpsittle, simple-tool morons.
There’s no freedom to destroy property that isn’t yours. How disgusting. Sent a prayer for them; what an awful way to live.
And if Catholics protested at a lesbian bar?
Hate crime.
Yet women are beheaded, stoned, hanged (gays/lesbians too), forced to get clitorectomies, raped and treated less than animals. Resonse from lesbians? Nothing.
How they shake their fists at their father and authority.

The homo-nazi agenda is all about destruction - destruction of freedom of speech, freedom of association, and most important - freedom of religion. They hate God, and they hate any religion that teaches God's truths without diluting or changing the basic moral absolutes. They hate truth, morality and goodness, and love perversion, hatred and rebellion. It's a deep sickness.
Noteworthy also is their cowardice. They never go into mosques and play their nasty rebellion there. Cowards.
Chicken shites. They would NEVER do that in a Mosque. Their protests mean nothing.
What vile and perverted people.
That's a good lesson in survival.(sarc)
If I am ever on a jury, and a priest is dragged into court on a charge of assaulting several individuals that sought to disrupt his mass, by personally punching their lights out before the ushers dragged them outside and stacked them like cord wood, I will very demurely vote “Not Guilty”, then, after the court is adjourned, ask the holy man where a case of his favorite beverage might be delivered, in recuperative therapy for his bruised knuckles.
Which is particularly good for sore knuckles, I’ve heard. Therapeutic.
Personally I believe these people showed in the extreme exactly what happens in a socity with lowered morals.
I believe this priest should use this as a good object lesson to Catholics all over wnat happens when religion is not in one’s life.
They become pagan, they involve themselves in nudity at the altar, same sex acts,and general actions from Sodom and Gomarah just as the people who worshipped false gods in Moses’s day.
It really is a very good lesson and should be used.
Lemme guess, these bigots then went and protested at the nearest local mosque as well, right?
True. I notice the lack of outrage over the violation of property rights if nothing else. I wonder how many of those who are so critical of those who observe Lent are quietly cheering on this sort of thing. After all, the entire anti-Catholic "Reformation" was built on stolen buildings and land far more than on differences in theology.
The fact that those productive stolen lands in Northern Europe were soon unproductive due to the sudden arrival of the Little Ice Age is a seldom noted but nonetheless interesting and illuminating footnote to the massive theft in the name of reform.

remember the days of it is our own private sex life and we wish to keep it like that.
Now they run around shouting we’re queer while showing their mentally sick perversion to others etc and then they still don’t understand as to why more and more are getting pissed off with them
That!
Satan know’s his own.
Gee! I wonder what POSSESSED them to do that lovely act. So much constructive time on their hands to even care.
Maybe if the RCC wouldn’t have spent the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries denouncing the founding principles of our nation, you would get more respect for you ossified, statist monarchical church.
