Catholic Church Defaced

In this article from California Catholic Daily, the eternal discrimination against the Catholic Church—the oldest nonprofit organization in the world—continues.

An excerpt.

“The vandals who spray-painted “Kill the Cathlics” on a wall of a Catholic church in Anaheim a week ago apparently traveled about 20 miles to a parish in Irvine to scrawl an identical message on a walkway at St. Thomas More parish.

“An identical phrase (with misspelling) was spray-painted on a wall at Saint Boniface Catholic Church in Anaheim,” the Orange County Register reported in a three-paragraph story on Jan. 13. “Both incidents were discovered (last) Tuesday morning.”

“Saint Thomas More Catholic Church is located at 51 Marketplace in Irvine.

“The graphic graffiti saddened parishioners, and church officials are working with police to find whoever is responsible for the crime, diocese spokesman Ryan Lilyengren said,” according to the Register.

“No additional details were provided.

California Catholic Daily reported on Jan. 12 that Graffiti reading “Kill THE CATHLICS” had been spray-painted on a wall of St. Boniface Catholic Church in Anaheim, but at the time it was not known that an identical misspelled message had been painted on a wall at St. Thomas More in Irvine, a 20-mile drive from Anaheim.”
