   “…on earth as it is in Heaven…”

   Be careful what you ask for.

   The local battlefront of the War in Heaven continues to heat up.

   In Texas, a pro-Islamist rally was outnumbered by a free speech pork BBQ, but over in Europe, an anti-Islamist rally was threatened into cancellation.

   We practically become numb to atrocities revealed daily, like a mob of a thousand, ostensibly riled over the Charlie Hebdo cartoons, with iron bars, clubs, and axes, stampeding through Niger’s capital, Niamey, defying tear gas, hurling rocks at police, torching at least eight churches, and murdering at least five.

   It’s relatively minor in scale, compared with all the murders, rapes, kidnappings, and genocide, but, like the torching of churches, this strikes me as deeply symbolic of the true struggle:

   A man was kneeling in prayer before the statue of the revered Madonna, with the photograph of a loved one in hand, in the small chapel of St. Barnabas in Perugia (Italy), when he was attacked by five “immigrants.”

   The first thing they did was rip the photo from his hands.

   Next they unleashed their hatred against the image of the Virgin Mary. They broke the statue to pieces and then urinated on it.

   Don Scarda, pastor of St. Barnabas, said the event was led by five “foreigners.” By the time police arrived at the chapel, the unidentified attackers had already fled.…
