But there should be:
A statue was vandalized at a Catholic church in Edmonton on the weekend, one of a string of recent acts against Catholic churches following the discovery of hundreds of unmarked graves at two former residential school sites.
Police in Edmonton say a female suspect was seen vandalizing a statue of Pope John Paul ll with paint outside of the Holy Rosary Catholic Church north of the city’s downtown late Saturday night.
(Sidebar: oh, THAT'S why it was done. Sure ...)

Mounties are investigating after they say two more Catholic churches in British Columbia’s southern Interior were destroyed in early-morning fires.
RCMP say the Princeton detachment got a report at 3:52 a.m. that St. Ann’s Catholic Church on Upper Similkameen Indian Band land, near Hedley, B.C., was on fire.
Another report came in to the Keremeos detachment at 4:45 a.m. that a Catholic church on Lower Similkameen land at Chopaka, near the U.S. border, was ablaze.
The Mounties say they’re treating both fires as suspicious and looking for possible connection to fires that destroyed two other Catholic churches in the region.
And for all of those who "left" the Church because they "feel uncomfortable", get over yourselves.
You were waiting for a moment to leave.
You left the ONE church that has claim to the Revealed Truth not because of any particular person or evil. Stop couching your discomfort in something allegedly noble or heroic. No matter what monstrous acts or scandals occur by the handful, what Jesus started was never wrong and you know it.
And you know that you can always come back.
