wow, that really sux! my church hasn't been vandalized, but some Catholic churches in my diocese were burned down by anti-Catholic Protestants and had the crosses stolen from them. It was like a hundred years ago but it still made me mad to hear that.

This one lady who thinks she's a nun (she isn't the vicar for the dioceses has no record of her profession) donated a St. therese relic for in front of the statue, and then she got mad at the parish because we told her ot regrain from wearing a habit if she isn't a nun, and she stold it back after she donated it.

Now she goes to a church that flys there priest in, and has been condenned by the Bishop Zubik.

Then some kid thought it'd be funny to tip over the BVM statue in the grotto.

There was a Catholic Church that was bombed by a fanatical Muslim but authorities blamed it on a Catholic. (it was actually an excuse to get him in prison ) The Catholic has just been released recently after serving about 5 - 7 years in jail. He prayed at the Church he allegedly "bombed" right when he got out.

my parish is Christ the King and we have statue that stood outside of the old church -- now it stands outside of the new church.... back in the day -- late 80s early 90s, i think, some vandals came and sawed the hands off of the statue... we, only recently, were able to get the hands reattached to the statue. in the old church, windows were broken, etc....
