A man was kneeling in prayer before
the statue of the revered Madonna, with the photograph of a loved one in
hand, in the small chapel of St. Barnabas in Perugia (Italy), when he
was attacked by five “immigrants.”
The first thing they did was rip the photo from his hands.
Next they unleashed their hatred against the image of the Virgin Mary. They broke the statue to pieces and then urinated on it.
Don Scarda, pastor of St. Barnabas,
said the event was led by five “foreigners.” By the time police arrived
at the chapel, the unidentified attackers had already fled.
The incident has caused a stir among
locals. Some have lambasted Pope Francis who is accused of appeasing
immigrants—mostly Muslims—to wild extremes. Earlier he had said that
“Migrants, through their own humanity, cultural values, expand the sense
of human brotherhood.”
Although the Diocese condemned the
act of sacrilege against the Madonna statue, it also followed the Pope’s
lead by absolving Islam of any responsibility for what happened.
The immigrants kicked pieces of the statue down the street..
