Sad. There’s an English seminary in Spain that does reparations for this. the Spanish bishops set up seminaries for the Irish and the English during the repression of Catholics in those countries.

The English and Protestant French attacked villages on the coasts of Spain and would attack, plunder and destroy the church - sometimes locking the priest and people inside before setting fire to it - and the sail away.

The Protestants often hacked off the faces and arms of the statues, and this monastery in Valladolid does reparation for them, praying for the souls of the Protestants who committed these acts.

Don’t forget the Vikings! They would loot the churchs and Irish monastaries too.

And the Crusaders! The Catholic Crusaders looted Contantinopole in the 4th Crusade, and had previously pirated through the Red Sea.

Are you kidding me?????

Revulsion and disgust is all I feel for your sick religion that thinks it is okay to kill people because they don’t agree with you, but not okay to destroy your idols.

No wonder Catholics and Muslims get along so well....like and like!
