“There have been over 120 reported incidents of vandalism, arson, and other destruction at Catholic sites in the United States since May of 2020, as well as attacks on the property of other faith groups,” the USCCB said in a new action alert.

The USCCB asked the faithful to “urge governmental officials to shine a light on this problem by speaking up when churches and other houses of worship are attacked, and encourage Congress to adequately fund the Nonprofit Security Grant Program today.”
