Video: Catholics assaulted, spat upon, and spray-painted as they defend cathedral from feminists

POSADAS, Argentina, October 11, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) - Angry, pro-abortion feminists mocked, spat on, and spray-painted Catholics who were standing guard in front of the cathedral of the Diocese of Posadas in Argentina on Saturday, an event that was caught on video by professional journalists and placed on YouTube and other media.

According to reports by local media, the bishop of Posadas, Juan Martínez, had closed the cathedral and canceled liturgical services there in anticipation of the presence of the women, who had gathered in the city to participate in the annual national National Women’s Encounter, an event that has become notorious for vandalism and attacks on Catholic churches.

Although the destructive behavior of participants in Argentina’s annual National Women’s Encounter is well known, Martínez had inexplicably asked the police not to place barriers nor to guard the cathedral, which was on the planned route of the feminists’ march through the city.

Local Catholics who placed themselves in front of the building to defend the structure from defacement were left defenseless as they were harassed and spray-painted by the feminists.

Following the attacks, which successfully defaced part of the building despite the presence of Catholic laity, Bishop Martinez said that the diocese had chosen “the road of peace and of non-confrontation,” but called the actions of the demonstrators “shameful.”

Calling the feminists “professional provocateurs” in a press conference following the attack, Martínez added that “we’re going to leave the paint for 48 hours so that people will reflect. The city was left vandalized, subjected, and violated. If they had done it to a synagogue, it would have been said that it was an anti-Semitic aggression. As it was against Catholics, there’s no problem.”

Argentina’s National Women’s Encounter attracts thousands of women every year from extremist feminist groups, many of them homosexuals, to angrily demand the acceptance of their political agenda, which includes the legalization of abortion and the vindication of the homosexual lifestyle.

In 2010 they vandalized buildings in the city of Paraná, attacked Catholics in front of the city’s cathedral and seriously injured at least one person. Similar confrontations have occurred in other years as well, including 2007 and 2008.

There’s nothing at all “feminine” about these pigs.

Your Excellency, I suggest you remember that Catholics have a Natural Law right to defend themselves and their property instead.

Level the playing field. Arm the parish defenders with pepper-spray.

I see a parallel between the police failing to provide protection when a known event that had caused problem in prior years occured, and our State Dept not providing protection to our consulate in Benghazi, Libya for a known event, i.e., 9/11 anniversary, that could reasonably be foreseen (and in fact was foreseen by the security people on the ground who requested backup) as problematic.

The proper term for these hags is FEMINAZIS.

I am currently reading one of Phillip Johnson's books about naturalism and world view - I highly recommend his books. The accepted standard the world over, practically speaking, is that God and His laws - moral absolutes as well as the simple laws of nature - do not exist. God didn't create human beings, human beings created a "god" because the simpletons needed a "god". But now humans have Science; and thus belief in God and His laws is a continuum that runs from primitive mythology to evil mental illness. It is shameful in the extreme that the police did not stop this attack. But if the State espouses the view of Naturalism - that what we perceive with our senses is all there is - then the women were of course justified by fighting against primitives with mental illness that harm a rational society.

It's a fight of two opposing world views; one is based on ignorance, lies and envy; the other is based on transcendent truth and love.

So they have their own feminazis in Argentina too, eh? What a shame. In Canada recently, the pro-aborts stormed into a Catholic Church and proceeded to say that Mary should have aborted Jesus. There is a hatred of Catholicism and Christianity in general that is being fostered by the heavy emphasis on secularism and moral relativism in our culture. These people develop such a fear and hatred of Christianity and teachings of moral absolutes that they lash out and attack it in ways such as this.

If this does not wrench your stomach with the possibility of more takeovers by the “unclean minds” of the left then you are not paying enough intention to the Church in the entire world.
