In the eyes of the Left, nothing is more deserving of disparagement and repudiation than Christianity, especially Catholic Christianity, the reactionary citadel that must be stormed. To the Left, every Catholic church, every statue of a saint, every Marian sanctuary, the Bible you read, the catechism you study, represents a moral Lost Cause, honored in the bigoted past but now destined, like statues of Robert E. Lee’s, to be officially vandalized, destroyed, and desecrated.
