Catholic Building Defaced With anti-Catholic Slogan
A Mairena del Aljarafe association of Catholic faithful was targeted in a vandalism incident when the exterior of its premises was defaced with the anti‑Catholic slogan "The most beautiful church is the one that burns the most."".
The act occurred in late May 2025 on the facade of the building belonging to the Asociación de Fieles de Nuestro Padre Jesús de la Salud in the Lepanto neighbourhood of Mairena del Aljarafe, Seville province. The painted message read "The most beautiful church is the one that burns the most".
The defacement constituted damage to the property’s exterior, prompting condemnation from local officials and attention on social media. The municipality, led by Mayor Antonio Conde, assisted in the removal of the paint.
There was no report of any arrests or identification of the perpetrators.
