UGH! IS THIS THE BEST WAY TO PREVENT THE TREND TO DESECRATE THE ALTAR AT SAINT PETER’S BASILICA?

 Sileri non possum has a vendetta against the Cardinal Gambetti who runs St. Peter’s Basilica. They think he’s incompetent.  Under his watch a number of unfortunate things have happened to the basilica. At least three times, someone has gotten on top of the altar, through the candlesticks and crucifix to the floor and undressed and one urinated. It was all caught on cell phone cameras.

It seems that security was absent or very slow to act.

This this is the way Cardinal Gambetti has decided to end the nonsense of altar desecration:

Maybe there might be some other options? I missed it in the photo until I looked closer, but there is plexiglass above the red panels, like a fence.

Father McDonald, this will bring joy to your day. A vibrant parish in Chicago offering the TLM without being crushed by Cupich. Enjoy!

Maybe the Vatican should hire the Carabinieri to shoot these desecrators! Once might be sufficient!

I was thinking of allowing the server to meep the aspergilla handy for the priest throughout the Mass to provide a percussive anointing to intruders.
