Summary: |
The church of the Holy Guardian Angels was vandalized by radical feminist groups. The group painted the church walls with phrases "the Church is burning", "the rich and the Church want you ignorant", "burn your nearest church" ....
A group of young Catholics met with some parishioners to clean the facade. During this voluntary cleaning and painting work, some anti-clerical passersby approached with hostility and scoffed at the rude graffiti as "expressions of folk art" and "historical." |
