  1. I hate this sort of thing , you gotta show respect , there’s a lot of old people that would hate to see this , I’m not religious but dudes this is bad stuff

  2. A Papal investigation is required. This may be a miracle we’re witnessing. Although my confidence in papal investigations isn’t what it used to be

  3. Not all Christians are terrible, and this makes victims of the good ones. As an atheist I’m so sorry to see anyone do this. Assholes.

  4. Is there any leads in this? People seem to be assuming it’s non-Christians or atheists, it could quite possibly be a christian, anyone remember the Pentecostals in Ballinspittle taking a hammer to one in the 80s? a lot of non catholics are against statues of Mary.

  5. this is sad, let’s learn to respect anyone’s belief, just because you don’t doesn’t mean everyone should be the same.

  6. Ah this is terrible. There are so many people who take comfort in these statues and shrines. I pass an old fella with his little dog every morning to work and he stops at the virgin Mary shrine everytime to say a prayer.

    I reckon it was just some dickhead and his mates, like it always is. No hate involved. But in this climate you could easily see shit like this getting escalated into something it’s not

  7. I’m an atheist and no fan of the church but that’s very disrespectful of someone’s religious beliefs and downright nasty vandalism. Those statues mean a lot to some people.

  8. There’s nothing to do with other religions. That was simply vandalism. I wish there were cameras to identify the scumbags.

  9. Not really, if you’re catholic, sunni, hindu, etc you have some fairly strict requirements to follow. It’s not a “personal choice” what to do/believe.

  10. So the score is, one broken statue verses how many kids raped and how many lived destroyed? With the way the church has acted over the decades they are lucky every church isn’t burnt to the ground.

  11. Era, probly some young lad or lass hoofed a ball or a full can or some other ill conceived projectile at it and are now shitting themselves they’ll be caught!
