It happened in Bowling Green, MO:

The pastor of a local Catholic Church parish has a message for the Bowling Green community after someone vandalized the St. Clement Catholic Church in Bowling Green.

“In dealing with the feelings we have in the wake of the attack and desecration of our church last night, we must now give strong Christian witness within our community and parish,” Father Bill Peckman wrote in a message on Facebook. “We must pray for those who perpetrated this attack. We cannot give into the anger or fear, such as an attack can muster. We cannot respond to sin with sin. We will rise above this and show not only the larger community but the attacker themselves that the fullness of God’s mercy can be found at St. Clement.”

Peckman ended his message to parishioners encouraging them to not speculate as to events of the late night hours of Saturday, July 23 and the early morning hours of Sunday, July 24.

According to a St. Clement church member, human feces was spread throughout the church including on holy sacraments and on the Bible itself. Wine was reportedly also spilled or poured on linens and other vestments of the church.

This appears to be part of some sort of pagan ritual. The perpetrator was captured and had this to say:

When initially questioned by authorities, Howard said she was at the church, where she is a member, to pray and to light a candle.

When later questioned by authorities in her apartment on Monday, Howard admitted that she was ashamed of her actions, but that she “mad at God because of how her life turned out and her family members were so far away.”

She also told authorities that she was a parishioner of the St. Clement Catholic Church, but had also been practicing the Wiccan faith. Wicca is a religion shaped by pagan beliefs and practices.

Howard told authorities that after vandalizing two or three items, the rest of her time within the church “was a blur.”

Make no mistake: there is a global war on Christianity, and believers of all denominations are right to be worried. Whether it’s radical Islamists murdering Catholic priests in cold blood, or radical secular Democrats forcing Christian hospitals and business owners to violate their conscience, or vile pagans engaging in sick stunts like this, the effort to tear down believers is real. In the face of such terrible evil, Christians everywhere need to pray, stand, and fight for what they believe in.
