We will burn the Eucharist to show our disgust for the abuse that Catholic churches have tolerated for centuries,” the organization tweeted, have called on abortion supporters to protest at Catholic churches across the country during Mother’s Day weekend.
St. St. Joseph’s Catholic Church and St. Peter’s Church Catholic Church, both of which are on Capitol Hill, reportedly requested increased police presence due to fears that protesters will try to disrupt Sunday morning Mass.
The tweet, which also included a picture of Jesus chasing money changers out of the temple and a woman wearing the red robe from “The Handmaid’s Tale”, was a response to a user who said she would pray the rosary for the protection of priests, parish children, police and “for the safety and change of heart” for pro-abortion protesters.

“The Catholic Church is the moral foundation of the West. Nowhere in the history of mankind have women achieved more equality than in the West,” wrote journalist David Marcus. “This is not a coincidence.”
“Bigotry and idiocy aside, how does this help their cause? How many supporters does it get in proportion to how many it loses?” asked author Jonah Goldberg. “[Its] self-indulgence is what surprises me. “
“This is pure evil, and it is not surprising from those who treat abortion as a sacrament,” said journalist Alexandra DeSanctis Marr.
“I actually feel sorry for these creeps,” commentator Liz Wheeler wrote. “Even if they mock Christ, they will one day go to hell and realize that eternal damnation is very real. And it makes me sad to think that someone misses eternity with Christ.”
“And we will pray for you all. Even when you kill a child, you are its mother forever, and this is also your day. These truths are inevitable. Happy Mother’s Day,” wrote Matt Schlapp. “See you at church today.”
Ruth Sent Us did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
