Yeah, so this happened on Christmas Eve.
According to one account in, I think it was the Times, the priests were having a meal together and the church had been left open for people to come in and pray on Christmas Eve.
And there was a disturbance and they found a man and a woman.
essentially wrecking the place.
They had taken the baby Jesus out of the crib, I believe, ripped it apart, ripped its arm off and ripped its head off.
The police stated in this sort of roundabout way, as did the statement from the church, that blood was spilled.
So they never actually said what the blood was.
was caused by, where it came from.
But there was also desecration of relics in the chapel and in the sanctuary.
The police were quick to point out that they called it a mental health incident.
and not a sectarian incident.
The perpetrators of this were a man and a woman, one of whom was described as English.
So this is all code for – this wasn't some sort of –
other religion attacking this church.
It was two people having a mental health crisis, quote unquote.
I find that choice of words to be very interesting.
And I find the whole story very unsettling and somewhat sinister.
What do you think, Ben?
Yes.
Yeah, and when I interrupted you, I was going to say about the threats made against them on Easter.
