If it isn't the neo-pagans, it's the Scimitar having "righteous" fun and
destroying our statuary:
The grotto, which was dedicated to veterans of World War II and is closed for renovation celebrating the parish's centennial, is in the front of the church, Nunn said. Worshippers are using a parish hall in the rear.
After the vandalism, All Saints pastor Monsignor Adam McClosky had the Lourdes statue stored to await a costly restoration, Nunn said. It was replaced with a 3-foot-tall statue of the Lady of Guadalupe.
During the Easter sunrise Mass at 6:30 a.m., the Guadalupe statue was placed on its head and streaked with black paint, Nunn said.
In the Easter incident, a slur was spray-painted on a wall that is part of a handicap ramp.
"Don't let them worship idols," was painted in black. In red were painted the words, "You are warned."
Nunn said Catholics believe there is a heaven that is peopled with Mary and known saints. Catholics often pray to saints to intercede with Jesus on their behalf.
"We don't worship idols at all," said Nunn. "It is like a picture of your mother.
