    VATICAN CITY—The Vatican has condemned Saturday’s violent clashes in central Rome including an attack by protesters on a church in which a crucifix and a statue of the Virgin Mary were destroyed.
    Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said he “condemned the violence and the fact that a church was desecrated by some protesters who broke in and destroyed some images.” He referred to the clashes in Rome as “horrific.”
    The 18th-century church of Santi Marcellino and Pietro is near St John Lateran square where much of Saturday’s violence occurred.

    Whilst this is one incident, it might suggest that these particular protesters object to more than just the current economic state.

    Wicked. These people hate God.

    My only question: why was this church left open? Does anyone in Rome watch the news? People have been rioting all over the world and they, with plenty of notice, leave the church lying open? And where were the police?
