A Catholic Church has been defaced<\/a> with pro-abortion and anti-Catholic vandalism in Ontario, Canada.<\/p>\n

Sometime between last Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, St. Mary\u2019s Catholic Church in the town of Welland was subjected to both an anti-Catholic obscenity spray-painted on the garage door of the rectory and the phrase \u201chappy abortions\u201d on the side of the church hall. The educational association Welland Port Colborne Pro-Life<\/a> has an office there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was one of the worst nights we ever had,\u201d Father Raymond French Gonzi said. \u201cI just don\u2019t understand how somebody could come out just for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neither he nor WPCPL volunteer community liaison Muriel Dyson could recall experiences with past cases of vandalism. Dyson says the only similar incident she could recall was a small group of pro-abortion girls screaming at area pro-life activists two years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage people to try to live and let live,\u201d French Gonzi said, lamenting that the attitude \u201cdoesn\u2019t seem to exist anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
