The media doesn’t talk about it, but the war on churches – particularly Catholic churches – is still ongoing. These attacks happen every week.
A church in Michigan has been vandalized with pro-abortion and anti-Catholic graffiti.
On October 8, the Church of the Resurrection in Lansing released footage of three hooded vandals spray-painting the Church’s sidewalk, front doors, and parish sign. The vandals left hateful messages that were directed at the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade by the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Our hope and our prayer is that those who did this to our parish church are not just brought to justice but are also brought to conversion, brought to an encounter with the love of Jesus, brought to a realization that anger corrodes the soul while life in Christ brings only freedom, peace and healing,” said the parish pastor, Father Steve Mattson. “That’s our hope. That’s our prayer.”
“Three hooded individuals caught on camera vandalizing a Catholic church in Lansing, Michigan, Oct. 8 with pro-abortion and anti-Catholic graffiti,” tweeted Joe Bukuras, Catholic News Agency journalist, with a video of the incident from the Church’s video footage.

Other videos and photos of the vandalism show graffiti messages such as “feminism not fascism,” “smash patriarchy,” “restore Roe,” and “is overturning Roe worth your life or your democracy?”
The front doors of the church were also emblazoned with two upside-down red crosses, with the words “Death to Christian nationalism” and “abort the court” painted nearby. The parish’s sign was also vandalized, spray-painted with the words “kill all Christian nationalists.”
That is some pretty hardcore messaging.
Now, I hate to do this, but…
Imagine if anti-abortion activists vandalized a synagogue with the equivalent messages.
Do you think “kill all Jews” vandalism would be headline news?
