>> Ainsley: VANDALISM IS ON THE
RISE AS HOUSES OF WORSHIP ARE
TARGETED BY ACTIVISTS.
SINCE MAY OF 2020 THERE HAVE
BEEN AT LEAST 278 ATTACKS
REPORTED AGAINST CATHOLIC
CHURCHES WITH MORE THAN 120 OF
THOSE INCIDENTS TAKING PLACE
AFTER THE SUPREME COURT DRAFT
LEAK OF LAST YEAR.
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR RAYMOND
ARROYO JOINS US NOW TO REACT.
GOOD MORNING TO YOU, RAYMOND.
>> GOOD MORNING, AINSLEY.
>> Ainsley: GOOD MORNING.
WHAT’S YOUR REACTION AND WHY IS
THIS HAPPENING?
>> WELL, I THINK IT STARTED WITH
DOBBS, AS YOU MENTIONED THERE.
AND THE OTHER PART OF IT IS POP
CULTURE.
YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A COMBINATION
HERE OF PEOPLE BEING MOTIVATED
BY A DIMINISHMENT OF HOLY
IMAGES, HOLY PEOPLE.
THE DOCTRINES OF BASIC CHRISTIAN
TEACHING.
ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN DIMINISHED
IN THE POP CULTURE.
I JUST SAW A COVER OF A VANITY
FAIR WITH MADONNA ON IT
IMPERSONATING OUR LADY OF
SORROWS.
SO THE POP CULTURE TREATS THE
MOTHER OF GOD LIKE A CHEAP POP
SINGER AND TREAT A CHEAP POP
SINGER LIKE THE MOTHER OF GOD.
THAT’S A PROBLEM.
WHAT IT TEACHES SUBTLY IN SMALL
WAYS AND LARGE WAYS IS THAT
THESE HOLY IMAGES, THESE PLACES
OF WORSHIP, THINGS WE REVERE OR
ONCE HELD AS SACRED ARE NO
LONGER SO.
AND THEN YOU COUPLE THAT WITH A
POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT SAYING
THIS CHURCH, THESE CHURCHES ARE
STANDING IN THE WAY OF
PROGRESSIVE POLITICS AND YOUR
FREEDOMS, PARTICULARLY THE
AUTONOMY OVER YOUR BODY,
ABORTION, THAT BECOMES A TOXIC
BREW.
AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT WE ARE
SEEING HERE.
I MEAN, I JUST READ A STORY,
AINSLEY, A MAN JUST A WEEK AGO
IN WOOD BURRY, NEW JERSEY, HE
ATTACKED THREE CATHOLIC
CHURCHES, ONE AFTER ANOTHER,
TRIED TO BURN A CROSS, BROKE
WINDOWS.
I MEAN, THERE IS SOMETHING ODD
THAT IS HAPPENING HERE.
A PHENOMENA THAT IS NOT BEING
REPORTED.
AND I THINK IT’S A COMBINATION
OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IT’S
CORRECT TO DESECRATE AND DEFILE
HOUSES OF WORSHIP AS A MEANS OF
POLITICAL PROTEST.
THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
AND CAN’T BE ACCEPTABLE IN OUR
REPUBLIC.
>> Ainsley: YEAH.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ARSON,
BROKEN WINDOWS, DECAPITATED
STATUES, KAMALA HARRIS, OUR VICE
PRESIDENT TWEETED THIS OUT.
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR FAITH AND
STILL SUPPORT ABORTION.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, AINSLEY, SHE
ALSO TWEETED OUT JUST YESTERDAY
THAT THIS OTHER MOVEMENT THE
PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT IS RUN BY
EXTREMIST SO-CALLED LEADERS.
NOW, THAT’S TOXIC LANGUAGE.
THIS IS WHAT I’M SAYING.
IT’S A PERFECT STORM IN MANY
WAYS.
LAST YEAR WE HAD 240 FBI HATE
CRIMES RELIGIOUSLY MOTIVATED.
I WORRY THAT THIS HOT POLITICAL
RHETORIC AND LABELING FAITHFUL
CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, MINISTERS,
PASTORS, RABBIS AND PRIESTS AS
SOMEHOW EXTREMIST LEADERS, THAT
IS A PROBLEM.
AND SHOULD BE DECRIED FROM BOTH
RIGHT AND LEFT.
IT’S NOT RIGHT.
IF YOU DISAGREE ON POLICY,
DISAGREE ON POLICY, BUT YOU
DON’T DEMONIZE PEOPLE WHO
BELIEVE DEEPLY AND FAITHFULLY IN
THE GOSPEL AS HAS BEEN PASSED
DOWN TO US FOR GENERATIONS THAT
SOMEHOW THOSE ARE EXTREMIST
BELIEFS.
ARGUE ON THE FACTS AND THE
MERITS.
STOP DEMONIZING PEOPLE.
IT LEADS TO VERY BAD ENDS HERE,
AINSLEY.
AS WE SEE.
>> Ainsley: WE SHOWED SOME
PICTURES OF THE DIOCESE IN EL
PASO AND IT’S HARD TO SEE HOUSE
OF WORSHIP.
IT’S GOD’S HOUSE.
K34R50E69LY VANDALIZED.
YOU MENTIONED MADONNA ON THE
FRONT COVER OF VANITY FAIR.
IT’S AN ARTICLE ABOUT RAISING
SIX CHILDREN.
BALANCING HER CAREER AND
BALANCING HER LIFE AND THE 40TH
ANNIVERSARY TOUR.
HERE’S A PICTURE OF IT DEPICTING
OF THE VIRGIN MARY AND IMAGINGS
OF HER AT THE LAST SUPPER. GOD IS A WOMAN HER NAME IS
GOD IS A WOMAN HER NAME IS
MADONNA BUT OTHERS SAY IT’S IT’S
BLAH.
