French Churches Under Attack: Can You Guess What the Government of France is Doing About It? Catholic Churches Regularly Under attack in France: Report

French Churches Under Attack
Can you guess what the government of France is doing about it?
Every week in France another church is vandalized. Altars and altarpieces are destroyed, walls smeared with excrement, crucifixes pulled off walls and broken into pieces, stained glass windows broken, statues of the Virgin Mary are decapitated, as are those of the baby Jesus, missals torn up, candelabras stolen, tabernacles to hold the host are smashed.
These acts are committed out of contempt and hatred for Christianity, and for Christians. For Christians, like other non-Muslims, for Muslims are “the most vile of created beings.” More on these attacks can be found here: “Catholic churches regularly under attack in France: report,” by Gaetano Masciullo, LifeSite News, May 28, 2026:
A church in southern France was vandalized as an “anti-fascist” group challenged the display of a Christian cross — signs of a growing normalization of attacks on places of worship and Catholic symbols across the country….
These “Antifa” troglodytes are far-left haters of the West, fascists claiming to be anti-fascists, and stout defenders of the West’s most dangerous enemy, Islam. There is no daylight between Muslims and those who call themselves “Antifa.” In fact, they frequently take part in the same protest marches against Israel, America, and what’s left, just, of Western civilization.
In the same time frame, Tribune Chrétienne referenced another incident in the Pyrenees involving a cross placed at the summit of the Aneto. The cross, installed by 18-year-ld French mountaineer Maël Le Lagadec, was removed and thrown from the summit shortly after its installation. According to the report, Spanish climbers later retrieved the cross and restored it to the summit. The episode was presented as part of a sequence of symbolic disputes involving Christian markers in public or natural spaces... --->READ MORE HERE

Catholic churches regularly under attack in France: report:
Within the past couple days, a church was vandalized and an 'anti-fascist' group challenged the display of a Christian cross in France.
A church in southern France was vandalized as an “anti-fascist” group challenged the display of a Christian cross — signs of a growing normalization of attacks on places of worship and Catholic symbols across the country.
On May 25, Monday of Pentecost, the church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens in Mérens, a locality within the commune of Pont-du-Casse in the Lot-et-Garonne department, was found vandalized after one or more intruders damaged religious property inside the building.
Separately, in Comps, in the Gard department, a metal cross placed on a rocky outcrop overlooking the village became the subject of a formal complaint by the “Anti‑Racist and Anti‑Fascist Citizen Action in Beaucaire,” which referred the matter to the French Human Rights League, arguing that the installation constituted a violation of secular governance.
In both cases, the events were reported as part of a broader pattern of tensions surrounding Catholic symbols in public and religious spaces in France.
“Beyond the investigation that will have to determine the precise circumstances of this case, one question remains — a question many Catholics are asking today: how many more churches will have to be desecrated before the nation becomes fully aware of the gravity of these acts?” Tribune Chrétienne wrote.
According to the Tribune Chrétienne report, the Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens church was described as having suffered disorder and damage consistent with forced entry or vandalism. Statues inside the building were reported damaged, while liturgical and devotional objects were found scattered on the floor. The building’s stained-glass structure was also affected, with at least one window reported broken.
The report underlined that the church is not only a heritage building but remains an active place of worship, used for sacraments and parish life. Buildings such as Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens have traditionally hosted baptisms, marriages, funerals, and local liturgical feasts, forming part of the social and religious fabric of the community over centuries. No individuals were identified in connection with the vandalism at the time of publication. --->READ MORE HERE
