As a Protestant I am dismayed by this act of sacrilege. As a Nationalist I am outraged by this act of wanton vandalism. I doubt very much that those guilty were capable of any higher thought than instant gratification. As for those who moan about it being the act of nationalists or republicans, does the same thoughts spring to mind when Catholic places of worship are attacked? Would it be the fault of unionists or would they suddenly see vandals and thugs. Evil is evil no matter where it comes from. Get real

I hope the scumbags who did this get caught and that there is no time waisted sending them to jail. This has no place in todays world. Absolute scumbags and im a catholic.

Absolutey disgraceful act. Do the "Republicans/Nationalists" behind this sectarian act know that Irish Republican Heroes like Wolfe Tone, Charles stewart parnell, etc were protestants? Its disgraceful to attack a protestant place of worship and an insult to Protestant Republicans/Nationalists, like actor Stephen Rea (Dolours Prices ex-husband). Honestly, the people behind these attacks need to stop, you have no support or backing from your community in doing this and the nationalist community wants you to stop.
