Catholic churches are still being desecrated and vandalized.
And pro-abortion terrorists continue to firebomb and deface pregnancy resource centers.
And Joe Biden’s only response so far? “Keep protesting.”
Worse, while ignoring actual terrorists who are attacking churches and pro-life centers, the FBI and Department of Justice have sent SWAT-style teams to arrest peaceful pro-life protesters instead.
This is why CatholicVote launched our Violence Tracker to call attention to the real criminals and hate crimes. That’s also why we sent letters to demand that the DOJ investigate these anti-Catholic hate crimes. And that’s why we are now pushing Congress to hold hearings as soon as possible in the new year.
Thankfully, some people are paying attention. For example:
Priests are using our resources in their homilies.
Media outlets – from FOX News to local newspapers – regularly cite our Violence Tracker to back up their reports on anti-Catholic violence.
Multiple Congressmen have recently requested our help preparing evidence to plan for Congressional hearings to investigate the absolute failure of the FBI and DOJ to enforce the law.
And people like you regularly write to us to say they had no idea how many times Catholic churches and pro-life clinics have been attacked – especially since Roe v. Wade was overturned (it’s now 100 Catholic churches and 78 pro-life centers just since June)
Faithful Catholics tell me they feel helpless as the FBI and DOJ continue to do nothing. This must change.
That’s why CatholicVote is demanding a Congressional investigation into the DOJ and FBI.
And in 2023, we fully expect the new Congress to do exactly that….

In another thread, Fred Herd implored Cal Catholic to “stop telling lies and spreading harmful disinformation.” is Violence Tracker more radical republican right wing Fox news propaganda, lies, disinformation? I’m curious on your take.
Do the math: 250 incidents over 2.5 years is a rate of about 8 incidents per month. There are over 17,000 parishes in the United States. I dare say there is more theft at department stores than there is vandalism at Catholic churches. This is being hyped and exaggerated for a self-serving interest and political purpose. Oh, and for fundraising. Follow the money.
” This is being hyped and exaggerated for a self-serving interest and political purpose. Oh, and for fundraising. Follow the money.” What a strange; post, hyped. If I didn’t know better, I would think you are Fred Herd sub rosa. Let’s consider your argument: because department stores are suffering more than Catholic churches, therefore the suffering of the churches is ipso facto more right wing lies and obfuscates the real motives which are political gain and money grabbing. It’s a simple argument. So now why is a comparison of sufferings even attempted here? They are different in kind besides different in frequency. Department store crime is one of greed but vandalism of churches is clearly a hate crime, which is far worse. How many thefts therefore equal a hate crime? 10? 20? 100? We cannot say precisely because they are different. Now for the causation: how does stealing underwear imply the mendacity and duplicity of Violence Tracker? To even ask the question is an absurdity. If it be argued there is no causation, just a comparison, how does stealing underwear vs. church vandalism imply the churches themselves are being dishonest and greedy? Again, it is absurd to even ask the question. You say “Follow the money,” to which we must ask, What money? If this were about money,. clever pastors would vandalize their own churches in order to harvest a monetary reward. Finally, you claim all this vandalism is exaggerated for dubious motives. Violence Tracker tracks hate crimes, and does not exaggerate their number. So maybe it exaggerates the significance of such hate crimes? But then how do we quantify hate crimes, so the claim of exaggeration stands?
In sum, hyped has produced claims that cannot be verified and which are without any merit whatsoever.
Dismissing violence because it is against Churches, and is therefore, “no problem”.Another Pro Violence Anti Catholic criminal
It is our chance now to show the love and forgiveness of Christ.
Yeah maybe. God made man. Sam Colt made men equal

On the positive side, I was thrilled to see in the news, that yesterday, Kirk Cameron drew a huge crowd of over 2500 enthusiastic library patrons, to his very first Story Hour book reading, at a library– the Indianapolis Public Library! The figure was disputed, as some said that the library could not hold that many people– but it was a huge, overflow crowd, for Story Hour! Cameron has another Book Reading scheduled for today, for Story Hour at the public library in Scarsdale, New York. Hope he will be blessed with tons and tons more public library Story Hour offers! Wish he would come to the big Main Library, in San Francisco, “Sin City By the Bay!” Kick out those sickening, filthy, deviant, Satanic “Drag Queen Story Hour” perverts, for good! Bring Christian teachings back to our cities and our children!
