PRO-ABORTION MOB VANDALIZES CATHOLIC CHURCH
MONTREAL, Mar 9 (LSN.ca) – On Tuesday, more than twenty activists stormed into Mary Queen of the World Cathedral burning homemade crosses, spray painting altars and walls, blaspheming, throwing condoms and attempting to overturn the tabernacle all the while calling for the “right” to abortion. Police arrested three women in their 20s, a girl younger than 18 and three men in their 20s, charging them with illegal assembly. They were released on a promise to appear in court. The police refused to name the criminals. The police did say that two of the people arrested will also be charged with assault against police officers, and another with obstruction.
Father Jean-Pierre Couturier, the vicar of the parish told the Post that the “anti-Christians” were turning over flowerpots and sticking sanitary napkins — some soiled — to pictures and walls. Women’s undergarments were found strewn around the church and hymn books were torn apart.
A witness told the paper that the attack was orchestrated by feminist activists celebrating International Women’s Day. The demonstration commenced in Phillips Square with about 50 participants yelling for abortion and against sexism.
An editorial in the Post notes the unbelievable lack of coverage given the hate crime.
