Buenos Aires, December 9, 2013
(LifeSiteNews.com) – Several members of a group of men who were violently
attacked and sexually molested by a mob of feminists while protecting a
cathedral last month in Argentina have described their experiences to
LifeSiteNews.com in exclusive interviews.
The attack, a video of which has drawn over
250,000 views by LSN readers, took place in San Juan, Argentina, following the
Women’s National Encounter held there this year. As LSN has previously
reported, such attacks against Catholic churches are becoming standard practice
by feminists.
Oscar Campillay and Roberto Gómez were just two
of the men defending the cathedral against the attack, which took place on
November 24.
Campillay, a father of 8 children, told
LifeSiteNews.com that he felt that there "was something twisted and
inhuman there, almost diabolic, that made one shudder.”
“The attack on our bodies was the least of
things,” he continued. “One can only remain in astounded horror seeing what a
creature, a child of God, a woman destined to wonderful things, can become when
choosing personal degradation, egoism and death against her own nature.”
The women, many of them topless, spray-painted
the men’s crotches and faces and swastikas on their chests and foreheads, using
markers to paint their faces with Hitler-like moustaches. They also performed
obscene sexual acts in front of them and pushed their breasts onto their faces,
all the while shouting “get your rosaries out of our ovaries.” (Note: Some of
the most graphic content has been removed from the video embedded in this
article. Uncensored footage is available here. Viewer discretion strongly
advised.)
Campillay described how before the arrival of
the feminists all the men, kneeling down before a priest, had said a prayer of
exorcism. “I think all of us had an expectant emotion for defending the House
of God,” he said. “But then, during the two hours the assault lasted, the
sensation was that of pity for these women.”
“Our prayers rose for the conversion of their
souls and so that these sins would not be imputed upon them,” he explained. “We
held onto Mary through the Holy Rosary, which never ceased to be prayed.”
He shared how “there was a moment in which a
girl whose face was covered stood in front of me. I decided to look into her
eyes without ceasing to pray, while she assaulted me.”
“There was an instant in which our eyes met and
we each held our gaze firmly. Suddenly she became calm and quiet; slowly she
uncovered her face and looked at me, and withdrew in silence away from the
crowd,” he said.
Gómez, also a father of 8, told us how “praying
the Rosary, which in reality was a continued Hail Mary,” gave him the strength
to not respond back with the same violence.
“I was always praying for the conversion of the
souls of the people I had in front of me,” he said, adding that he believes
this peaceful manifestation “showed that our faith is alive.”
The attack on the Cathedral of San Juan took
place as part of the National Women’s Encounter, which annually brings together
Argentinean feminists who support “women’s rights” and has been going on for
the past 28 years.
Campillay told LSN how “we Christians have been
following the development of these encounters with concern, since approximately
a decade ago they have been reoriented towards ultra-feminist positions and
covered with expressions of religious intolerance.”
“These attacks to Cathedrals and temples have
unfortunately become an intrinsic part of the organization of these events,” he
said.
However, the event’s organizers, Rosita Collado
and Perla Werner, have not taken responsibility for these attacks. They told
the press: “We organized an event and it went really well, nothing was out of
control.”
“The incident in the Cathedral is a social
phenomena; I ask anybody here to explain to us what to do to avoid any problems
with 20,000 women present,” said Collado.
“It is not our obligation to control the
streets,” added Werner.
Adrián Cuevas, Minister of the San Juan
government, admitted to the local press that there was an “anarchist group,” of
around 1000 women that “have the characteristics of savages and behave
themselves like piranhas.”
He said the police did not intervene “so as to
not to have to lament any rubber bullet and tear gas victims,” and added that
“we must achieve their expulsion.”
Gómez told LSN that the police simply stood by
and watched “how they were beating and insulting us, spitting at us.”
“We asked them to please defend us but they
told us that they had orders not to act,” he explained.
When LSN contacted the San Juan police, they
simply said “they could not respond” as to why they did not intervene.
“It is of public knowledge that sponsoring and
logistics are provided by the national government through its social
ministries,” said Campillay.
“In a certain way, being attacked and
persecuted will become an inseparable part of our Christian identity,” he
continued, adding that he had considered it a “privilege” to defend the Cathedral.
“May God allow us to be present for the next
encounter,” he said. “The city of Salta awaits us.”
SOME COMMENTS TO THE
NOTE:
-
These
men are heroes, they inspire me to be a better man. God Bless these men
-
These
men are real men! Men that will protect their women and children. Men that God
has called. May they always have the courage to stand up for their children and
call on Our Blessed Mother for protection. "For unto this are you called:
because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should
follow his steps."
-
I
have noticed very little mainstream media coverage of this story.
One can only imagine the media uproar &
condemnation, if the roles were reversed - & if it were Pro Life people or
Christians who were protesting in this way.
Therefore I think its important for us, to try
to share this story as much as possible. The world needs to see the true face
of Pro Abortion feminism.
The young men protecting the church were truly
inspirational.
-
Very
true. The mainstream media also ignore the March for Life ever year despite the
fact that hundreds of thousands all over march in it! It is liberal censorship
at its highest!
-
Welcome
to two worlds: one with God and the other without. Need we say more? God help
us!
-
Plus
the pro-abortionists make themselves look hideous acting like that! Spitting on
the praying men? Spraying their faces and verbally assaulting them. Truly
appalling and demonic as the title suggests!
-
These
men are awesome. May God bless them and their families and may He fill them
with abundant peace.
-
These
women are depraved, disgusting cowards. The knew full well that these men would
not physically retaliate against their violence and obscene behaviour.
-
And
they knew the cops would give them free rein-just like in the U.S.
God
is watching it all...and knows the names of every person involved: the savage,
blasphemous women, and the stalwart, faithful men. And God will repay each one
of them according to their works and their words: "Hail Satan", or
"Hail Mary".
-
Excellent
point. Because if they were *really* brave & wanting a fight they'd do that
to a mosque. But no. THAT would take balls.
-
no,
but throwing some holy water on those women wouldn't be a bad idea.
-
Very
true. As a woman I am disgusted and ashamed they would act like that (though I
did see pro-abort men in the mob as well). God bless those men who endured the
same revilement as Christ (spitting and verbal abuse) that He did in His
Passion.
-
As
a one of the participants of the defense of San Juan's Cathedral, I'm very
grateful for your blessings and comments, which have been kinder than the ones
that we have received in our own country. You really understood the meaning of
our defence. We're really proud of the young men who took part of the defense
and stood in front of those diabolic women. I ask you to pray for them. United
in Christ and Mary, blessings for all of you.
-
Thank
you for your courageous witness. It is an inspiration. You men are truly white
martyrs. I wish I could have been there saying the rosary with you.
-
Yes,
thank you for your brave pro-life, moral witness! You certainly went through
what Christ felt in His Passion, as the pro-abortionist women spat at you and
verbally and physically assaulted you. Be proud that you have endured some of
what our Lord also experienced. God keep you safe and your families.
-
Wow.
I must thank you men of Sn San Juan. Thank you, and God bless you. It is You
who have stood with Our Blessed Savior and his holy mother, Mary, for my
dignity as a woman and the dignity of all women - born and unborn. All men,
born and unborn.
-
Real
men of faith. They are inspiring.
-
These
women are on video and their faces can be seen. There is probably an event page
on Facebook or some other site. I think the police need to fine and arrest these
monsters.
-
The
"police" there are on the womens' side. This is what government
sponsored persecution looks like in the initial stages.
-
Yes,
in a just world, they would be arrested---because they were assaulting these
men in plain view! We can pray that a judge or police dept somewhere does hold
those women (and the pro-abortion men too) responsible for their actions.
-
PS.
I LOVE that they kept praying and turned the other cheek. No retaliation, no
hate. True men of the true faith.
-
It
takes more strength and courage to simply stand firm than to strike back. A
true man knows when to act vigorously, and when to resist firmly but
nonviolently.
-
God
bless them indeed.
-
The
world is in insane! I admire extremely these men for defending their Catholic
faith. They are like St. Joseph, Protector of Holy Church! May St. Joseph bless
and be with them always. Poor women! They don't know what they are doing!
-
I
was very struck by the lack of mainstream media coverage, of this story.
One can only imagine the media uproar &
condemnation, worldwide, if the roles were reversed - & the protestors were
Pro Life people or Christians.
Therefore, it is important for us to share,
& make this story known, as much as possible.
The world needs to see this - the true face of
militant Pro Abortion feminism.
As for those young men, they were nothing short
of heroic. Their faith & courage is an example to us all.
-
Please
interview these men if possible!
-
yes,
these men are true heroes of the faith. As a woman, these screaming blasphemous
females are an abomination to our gender.
-
Pope
Francis-please respond to this. Argentina is your country. Let us all pray an
Our Father and a Hail Mary and a Glory Be that Pope Francis will condemn this
act of fascistic and sadistic feminism. God bless these men of courage-time to
have a revolution in Argentina!
-
Yes,
that would be wonderful! Especially if he would do it at a time and place where
the news media could not ignore it.
-
God
will not be mocked. He will not remain angry with His children forever. He will
come soon. I pity those who refuse the graces they received from the prayers of
these martyrs when He does come to call them to account.
-
-
To
all those who participated in the defence of San Juan Cathedral,- we are with
you & are praying for you.
-
You
have given inspiration & hope to many people, all over the world.
-
Those
men were wrong to not fight back. They ought to do so if they were being
sexually molested. I certainly would. If our Christian ancestors did not fight
back when they were attacked, Europe would have been Moslem by the 8th century.
-
The
reason why they don´t fight back is because, behin them, there are a lot of
womans praying (like me!), if they punch some of this womans, they could killed
us (there are much more than us!!), it´s a real danger i have been in this
encounters for three years, we are only a few catholic´s, there are thousends,
look what hapend the past year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v..., sory for my
english, I´m from Argentina
