Paris police beat believers for protesting against desecration of churches
The Paris Archdiocese approved occult installations in historic churches for a festival led by an LGBT activist.
Paris police dispersed a peaceful action by believers at the Saint-Laurent church. Law enforcers beat protesters, among whom were elderly women, reports the Life Site News.
Catholics gathered on the steps of the church for prayer and protest against blasphemous installations as part of the White Night festival. The parish leadership personally called the police to disperse parishioners who were defending the sanctuary.
The organizer of the city event was LGBTQ activist and singer Barbara Butch. This woman gained scandalous notoriety after parodying the Last Supper during the opening of the 2024 Olympics.
Historic churches in Paris housed exhibitions with voodoo cult objects and disturbing audio effects. In the Saint-Laurent Cathedral, organizers installed speakers near altars and confessionals to broadcast recordings of visitors' voices. In the chapel of the Tenon hospital, artist Stéphane Blanquet presented voodoo masks as part of the installation "Suffocating Jungles." The festival budget was one million three hundred thousand euros.
Journalists called the Archdiocese of Paris responsible for what happened. Without the consent of church authorities, occult projects could not have entered consecrated buildings. The Archdiocese of Paris did not provide explanations regarding the criteria for approving these exhibitions.
As the UOJ reported, a Canadian RCC cathedral hosted a hockey match broadcast with beer and pizza.
