875 of France’s 42,258 churches were vandalised last year
Suck it up!
Quote:
Some politicians have claimed the country’s Christian heritage is under threat from petty criminals encouraged by “militant secularism”.
Figures released by French police showed that 875 of France’s 42,258 churches were vandalised last year.
A further 129 churches reported thefts from the premises.
The interior ministry said that 59 cemeteries were also vandalised.
While the figures are down on the previous year when there were 1,045 acts of vandalism and 109 thefts they are still at a “worrying level”, according to Le Figaro.
Republicans MP Valerie Boyer said: “Every day, at least two churches are profaned.”
Critics of Prime Minister Edouard Philippe’s government have said it is not doing enough to stop the problem.
