They were damaged. The article does not say they were destroyed. One lost a nose. I expect they can be repaired.

This fails as a false comparison fallacy.
Removing the statues of treasonous, racist war criminals is perfectly appropriate and warranted.

Please tell me you're not so stupid that you didn't see which statues have been vandalized.
Did you even read the link? Because if you did, you wouldn't have said something so stupid...

True, it is an atrocity and a crime. But from what the article said, they were not destroyed. They may be restorable.

And if they can't be repaired, then that means they're destroyed.
As it is, thousand year old statues can't be "repaired" to be anything approaching original condition...

The story doesn't mean much without an interview with the person who cause the damage. Is he a crazy bastard or did he sincerely want to talk to il Papa about an urgent or critical matter?
While visiting the Vatican is an overwhelming experience, exposing one to incredible timeless art and craftsmanship, one must never lose sight of the fact that these priceless objects of art are nothing more than material items, totally removed from the mission of the Church in today's world. Burn the whole thing down and the Church will remain, being no more and no less relevant.

Glad Walker is in Geirgia. If he hadn't been...I would have swore the anger came after one of his girlfriends refused to have an abortion.
