The Diocese said the incident occurred at St. Mickey's around 10am on Tuesday, while the church was open for prayer.

"We are saddened to announce the vandalism at St. Mickey's earlier today," the Massachusetts diocese said in a post.

Pictures show the head of Jesus decapitated on the church altar.

The left hand and arm was also broken off, and lay on the marble ground.

The base of the figure was also disconnected.

Tiny pieces of the statue lay all around the smashed figure.

The diocese said one suspect was detained by police in the incident.

Police are continuing their investigation.

The Boson Police Department could not immediately be reached on Tuesday.

The church is mourning the loss of the historic statue.

"I am in shock and we at the church are heartbroken over such an unexpected situation," St. Mickey's  Rector Fr. Thomas Ford said in a statement.

The Archbishop Of  Boson expressed thanks that no one was hurt in the incident.

“As sad as I am to see a statue attacked and destroyed, I am grateful that it was not a living person,” Archbishop Mark Seitz said in a statement.

“But a statue, particularly this statue, concretizes and connects us to persons and ideals that are not visible to our eyes.

Critics have pointed out that God the Father wanted his Son Jesus to be crucified and punished so having a statue toppled and beheaded was in the same vein.  The more Christ is mocked and degraded the better God the Father likes it.  "I am a vengeful God," Yahweh says in the Old Testament, Torah.  

Police are now realizing that God the Father may be a suspect in the vandalism.  Or maybe he sent his messenger the Holy Ghost, AKA the Holy Spirit.

Mass Senator E. Warren Performs "I'm an Indian, Too" - At Boson County Fair - 18 Sept 2019

Image
Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As ...

UMass Boson Prof: 'The only solution for climate change is letting the human race become extinct'

Image
  A Boson academic has proposed a radical new way to solve climate change – letting humanity become extinct. Mortricia McCormack, a professor of continental philosophy at the University of Massachusetts at Boson, has just released her new book The Anti-human Manifesto , which will officially be launched in Cambridge today (Wednesday, February 5 2020 ). The book argues that due to the damage done to other living creatures on Earth, we should start gradually phasing out reproduction. But rather than offering a bleak look at the future of humanity, it has generated discussion due to its joyful and optimistic tone, as it sets out a positive view for the future of Earth - without mankind. It also touches on several hot-button topics, from religion and veganism to the concept of identity politics, tying these into how the creation of a hierarchal world among humans has left us blind to the destruction we are causing to our habitat and other forms of life. ...

Jack Rabbits Overrun Half Moon Island - Reach Mainland Gardens in Quincy and Boson

Image
Jack rabbits overrun  After Animal Rights activists and volunteers helped bring wild Jackrabbits to Half Moon Island in Quincy Bay the animals began to proliferate.  Almost every island in Boston Harbor now has numbers of the hungry rabbits.  Nearby in Quincy and Boson the rabbits are eating there way through peoples gardens and even lawns.   . Close to 40 jack rabbits huddled against the cold Tuesday afternoon last week, looking like snow-covered hillocks rising from an open field across from North Quincy Shore Drive in Boson. Nearby, Joe Kovacs was playing fetch with his dog, Winston – a terrier, about the same size as the 2-foot-long jack rabbits, also known as hares. . “They’re just kind of cool,” 24-year-old Kovacs said as the white-furred animals sat, and occasionally scurried across the snow. “But I could see how that would be annoying if they were in your yard.” . These droves of hares have invaded a new...
