SUNDAY SACRILEGE!!! PRO-CHOICE ACTIVISTS VANDALIZE OVERLAND PARK CHURCH!!!

Today we are tragically surprised by so-called "progressive" activists targeting a church.  

At this point it's important to note that our blog community has been monitoring this trend for the past month.

Here's a glimpse at the discourse in Johnson County escalating to dangerous levels . . .

We're not sure if a highly political Kansas archbishop is going to make things better:

There have been no arrests in the case as of yet. A full police report is expected to be released this week.

Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann of the Kansas City in Kansas Archdiocese issued this statement on the vandalism:

“An escalating pattern of theft, vandalism and intimidation targeting members of the Catholic Church and other supporters of the Value Them Both amendment reached a new level overnight when the Church of the Ascension in Overland Park fell victim to an overt act of hatred and incivility.

Parish buildings, including a statue of the Blessed Mother, were extensively defaced with red spray paint. Authorities were notified and we ask that every action be taken to identify and hold the perpetrators of this despicable act accountable.

This attack and others targeting Catholic churches in Kansas and across the country are not only vulgar but un-American. The intention is clearly meant to intimidate and threaten the Church’s pro-life beliefs and position of support for the Value Them Both amendment. We will not be deterred.”
