Attacks against Catholic churches approach 300 incidents since May 2020: report
Nearly 300 Roman Catholic churches have been attacked in the U.S. since May 2020, with 118 of them taking place since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, according to a nonprofit.

Churches all over the United States are being targeted by the Left, all in retaliation for the Dobbs Decision, but without much coverage by the media, shocking, I know.
The attacks against churches include arson, broken windows, decapitated statues and satanic graffiti. Some 118 incidents were logged since the May 2022 leak of the draft Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade's federal abortion protections.
While some of the attacks involved theft, the "vast majority" of recorded incidents were simply destruction of property, which the group said indicates "that the primary motive is not material gain," the report said.
A report from the Family Research Council released in December also found that church attacks spiked following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
The council's report, titled "Hostility Against Churches Is on the Rise in the United States," found there were 420 acts of hostility against 397 churches between January 2018 and September 2022. The attacks took place across 45 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., according to the report.
That report's authors attributed the rise in attacks to "a collapse in societal reverence and respect for houses of worship and religion — in this case, churches and Christianity."
