Anyone who follows Catholic Arena for any length of time will be aware of the the attacks on French churches that have approached epidemic proportions.
The burning of Notre Dame, for which no conclusive cause has ever been offered, was not the exception, but the norm.
During the presidential election of 2022, Jewish candidate Eric Zemmour was the only candidate to reference the disrepair of France’s churches.
Now, Marine Le Pen has addressed the crisis.
After a statue of Our Lady and the child Jesus was set on fire, during Mass, on the Feast of Her Nativity, the attacks on churches seem to have finally broke into the consciousness somehow.
In a post on social media, Le Pen wrote:
Barely a month after the criminal fire that targeted Notre-Dame-des-Champs church in Paris, a new act of vandalism defiles a church in Brittany. Attacks against places of worship, whatever they may be, are unacceptable, just as unacceptable as the powerlessness of public authorities to protect them and the selective outrage of certain left-wing and far-left political figures, who remain silent when it comes to denouncing this exponential violence targeting Catholics.
