Radical abortion activists are accused of smashing the windows of a Catholic ministry and spray-painting its vehicles with the phrase “pro-choice” last week in Austria.
Katholische Nachrichten reports the vandals targeted HOME Mission Base in Salzburg on May 5. The Catholic ministry shared photos of the vandalism online.
Local authorities are investigating, according to the report.
Patrick Knittelfelder, who leads the ministry, told the news outlet (translated): “After our vehicles have been carefully selected, this indicates that we are very relevant. With what we do, of course, we give a clear statement of yes to life. This has implications in the spiritual, material and psychodynamic world.”
Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe listed the report as an act of “hostility/intolerance” targeting the ministry’s faith and morals.
