A church was vandalized and desecrated in Friedrichshafen in Baden-Württemberg. The Catholic community of the parish of St. Peter Canisius of the diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart was very much in shock.
A local parishioner discovered that statues of saints in the church had been vandalized. Among the damages inter alia are: a statue of St. Jude Thaddeus that was beheaded and a statue of the Virgin Mary that had one hand amputated and on the other a broken finger. Police are investigating the case.
