Don Domenico Dell’Omo , parish priest of the church of Santo Stefano in Alessandria , knows how to forgive but is embittered and disappointed by the news that has shocked his community of faithful: the large crucifix that was on the main altar a few days ago was thrown to the ground and then broken . The priest, heard by LaVoce Alessandrina , speaks of “a vandalistic and sacrilegious action which seriously damaged the cross of the parish” and which forced him to report the incident to the police station to understand if it was the gesture of an unbalanced hatred a “man angry at God”.
The cameras present recorded the scene, but the face cannot be distinguished . We see this person who «closed a curtain in the confessional, who knows why, he went up behind the main altar, dismantled the Cross and brought it down. He put her down on the steps, took a running start and broke her in two with a kick.”
Never before had anything like this happened in the city. Furthermore, it seems that in the central church of San Giovannino the crucifix on the altar and the one entering on the right near the statue of Sant’Antonio were also broken . The police intervened there too. In short, certainly not a good moment for the Catholic church.
