Italy: A Church is Sacked in Rome

The extreme left movement, The Indignants, whose activism is growing in many western countries and which claims to be fighting against “financial capitalism and oligarchy,” sacked a church in Rome on October 15^th, near the site of a demonstration. A crucifix and a statue of the Virgin Mary were destroyed in the church of Saint-Marcellin-Saint-Pierre, near the plaza of St. John Lateran Basilica where many violent incidents have occurred. Videos posted on the Internet show the vandals leaving the church with a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes before throwing it in the street and trampling it while the accomplices shout for joy. Inside the building, a crucifix was found decapitated. (Source: tvreporter.it - DICI No. 243 of 28/10/11)
