Naive young priest: Tries to reason with the statue destroying, book burners

Well good try Fr. Stephen. Might as well talk to a brick. These people are the modern day version of the Know Nothing Party. They are trying to tear down the statue of St. Louis in St. Louis.

"Supporters of the Know Nothing movement believed that an alleged "Romanist" conspiracy was being planned to subvert civil and religious liberty in the United States, and sought to politically organize native-born Protestants in what they described as a defense of their traditional religious and political values."

Don't know about naïve here, save as St. Paul was considered when he preached to pagans, & converted not a few.

Ricardo as you should certainly know, the return on time on this is minuscule. These people are not plain vanilla pagans - they are haters.

"Those who begin by burning books (and Sweat might add - toppling statues), will end by burning men."
