Estados Unidos: Denuncian casi 400 ataques contra iglesias católicas desde 2020

Casi 400 iglesias católicas de Estados Unidos han sufrido ataques desde mayo de 2020, según informa CatholicVote.

Denunciaron el robo de sagrarios, la decapitación de estatuas de santos, saqueos e incluso el incendio de edificios eclesiásticos. Esta oleada de ataques comenzó tras los disturbios civiles y políticos en Estados Unidos que hubo en mayo de 2020 y se intensificaron dos años después, cuando el Tribunal Supremo anuló la ley del aborto del caso Roe contra Wade.

Y no muestran signos de desaceleración: se han producido casi 100 nuevos ataques contra iglesias desde principios de 2023.

La conferencia episcopal de Estados Unidos ha denunciado estos ataques. Y otras organizaciones católicas estadounidenses han pedido incluso al gobierno de Estados Unidos que tome medidas legislativas al respecto.

Ataques a iglesias católicas desde mayo de 2020:  404

Ataques a iglesias católicas desde la fuga de la Corte Suprema:  239

Ataques a las iglesias católicas en 2024:   14

 

FIRME LA PETICIÓN PARA TERMINAR LA VIOLENCIA DE PRO-ABORCIÓN 

CV NEWS FEED // A medida que los disturbios civiles se apoderaron del país después de la muerte de George Floyd en mayo de 2020, Las iglesias católicas no estaban exentas de las turbas que destruían propiedades en ciudades de todo Estados Unidos. Pero aunque los disturbios y el saqueo se extinguieron en su mayoría en el verano de 2020, los ataques contra las iglesias católicas continuaron y se intensificaron.

Desde que comenzaron los disturbios civiles el 28 de mayo de 2020, ha habido al menos 404 ataques contra iglesias católicas en los Estados Unidos, incluidos los actos de incendio provocado que dañaron o destruyeron iglesias históricas; pintura en aerosol y grafiti de mensajes satánicos; rocas y ladrillos arrojados a través de las ventanas; estatuas destruidas ( a menudo con las cabezas cortadas ); e interrupciones ilegales de la misa. Se han perpetrado al menos 239 ataques contra iglesias católicas desde el proyecto de opinión de la Corte Suprema que propone revertir Roe v. Wade se filtró a principios de mayo de 2022, y muchos incluyeron grafiti con mensajes pro-aborto. De manera crucial, si bien algunos de los ataques han incluido robos, la gran mayoría solo ha involucrado la destrucción de la propiedad, lo que indica que el motivo principal no es la ganancia material.

Los ataques a las iglesias católicas se han generalizado en todo el país, afectando a 42 estados más DC. Los diez principales estados con más ataques son California ( 54 ),  Nueva York ( 46 ),  Pennsylvania ( 24 ),  Texas ( 19 ),  Colorado ( 17 ),  Ohio ( 16 ), Florida (16),  Massachusetts (16) y Oregón (14).

Los puntos críticos con grandes grupos de ataques incluyen la ciudad de Nueva York ( 39 ) y las áreas metropolitanas de Los Ángeles ( 17 ); Denver ( 15 ); Filadelfia ( 14 ); Portland, Oregón ( 12 ); Boston ( 11 ); Washington, D.C. ( 10 ); Seattle ( 8 ); Chicago ( 7 ); Cincinnati ( 6 ) Louisville ( 6 ); Omaha ( 6 ), Miami/Fort Lauderdale (6); y Houston (5).  Algunas de las iglesias han sido atacadas varias veces.

CatholicVote ha encontrado evidencia de un arresto en relación con un ataque contra una iglesia en solo alrededor del 25% de los casos.

Hasta ahora, la administración de Biden se ha negado a actuar para proteger las iglesias católicas y detener estos actos de terrorismo doméstico. En diciembre de 2021, CatholicVote envió una carta al Fiscal General Merrick Garland y al Departamento de Justicia ( DOJ ) pidiéndoles que actúen, señalando un estatuto federal que requiere que el Fiscal General investigue y procese dichos delitos.

“El vandalismo que estamos viendo hoy está aumentando rápidamente a niveles que no se han visto desde finales de 1800 y principios de 1900 por parte de grupos organizados como Know-Nothings y Ku Klux Klan”, afirma el presidente de CatholicVote, Brian Burch.

Fiscal General Asociado Vanita Gupta respondió en una carta de enero de 2022 que promete una revisión de “15 días para garantizar que se desplieguen todos los recursos apropiados para proteger las casas de culto” pero desde entonces, no ha habido evidencia de acciones específicas tomadas por el Departamento de Justicia, y los ataques han continuado.

Una nueva ola de ataques contra iglesias católicas comenzó a raíz de la filtración de opinión de la Corte Suprema en mayo de 2022. Burch ha renovado su llamado a Garland y al Departamento de Justicia para hacer cumplir la ley federal y enjuiciar los ataques. Ni Garland ni el Departamento de Justicia parecen haber tomado ninguna medida específica, y no ha habido enjuiciamientos federales en ninguno de los casos, a pesar de que atacar un lugar de culto es un delito federal.

Según un reporte en junio de 2022, el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional advirtió en privado a la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos de “ amenazas creíbles ” contra iglesias y clérigos católicos después de la revocación de Roe v. Wade.

Un boletín del Sistema Nacional de Asesoramiento sobre Terrorismo emitido en junio de 2022 advirtió que espera que el entorno de amenaza “se vuelva más dinámico ya que podrían explotarse varios eventos de alto perfil para justificar actos de violencia contra una variedad de posibles objetivos ”, incluidas “ instituciones basadas en la fe” y “casas de culto”. Los ataques se aceleraron después de que la Corte Suprema emitió su fallo final anulando Roe v. Wade en junio de 2022.

En enero de 2023, CatholicVote envió una carta a EE. UU. El presidente del Comité Judicial de la Cámara de Representantes, Jim Jordan ( R-OH ), instándolo a usar los poderes del comité para abrir una investigación sobre el fracaso del Departamento de Justicia de Biden en actuar contra de estos actos de odio.

Los ataques han continuado sin cesar, sin signos de desaceleración; hubo 104 ataques contra iglesias católicas en 2023.

2020: 60 ataques contra iglesias católicas
2021: 82 ataques contra iglesias católicas
2022: 143 ataques contra iglesias católicas
2023: 104 ataques contra iglesias católicas
2024: 14 ataques contra iglesias católicas

 Notas: Este rastreador incluye todos los actos denunciados de vandalismo y violencia contra las iglesias desde el 28 de mayo de 2020. Casi todos los informes provienen de agencias de noticias, mientras que algunos han sido reportados directamente a CatholicVote, con documentación, por correo electrónico. Se incluyen robos de objetos sagrados, incluidos tabernáculos y estatuas, pero robos de efectivo, cobre, electrónica, etc., y otros casos en los que el motivo parece ser una ganancia puramente material, no están incluidos.
