BLM is to blame for destroying Sacred Heart of Jesus statue in El Paso

Let's call a spade a spade. BLM is responsible, by fostering a cancel culture that is fueled by self-manifested race tensions to destroy everything that opposes their marxist-atheist agenda, for the destruction and desecration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue in St. Patrick's Cathedral in El Paso last Monday, August 14th.
Over a week has passed and the local government of El Paso, the Department of Justice, and Bishop Mark J. Seitz of the Diocese of El Paso have failed to address the situation further, only choosing to handle the situation at face value and treat it as "criminal mischief" rather than another attack on Christianity as a hate crime.
Should we expect anything else? BLM and their supporters, even politicians elected in state and federal government, have voiced or condoned the hateful rhetoric that produces the illusion that violence in general, especially against Christianity, is acceptable.
Moreover, Catholic prelates, like Bishop Seitz of El Paso, have been right along side them. On June 1st, Bishop Seitz chose to be the first Catholic bishop in the United States to kneel in support of BLM after the death of George Floyd. Was he rebuked for supporting a marxist and ethno-socialist organization? No, the bishop received a personal phone call from Pope Francis, "thanking him for showing speaking out and providing pastoral care during civil unrest in America."

Standing in solidarity about the unjust death of George Floyd is one thing, but supporting a militant group like BLM is another, especially after anti-Catholic comments from their leadership and prominent activists.
Shaun King, a renown writer and BLM activist, even after several Catholic churches had been vandalized by protests and riots, asserted on Twitter that "I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down...they are a form of white supremacy...tear them down."
Furthermore, it was in the same month that the New York Post released an article and video from 2015, illustrating BLM's co-founder Patrisse Cullors proudly admitting that she and her fellow organizers are “trained marxists."
Other than the mainstream media referring to violent riots as "peaceful protests," BLM has not hidden their motives and actions to force American cities to embrace their design to reshape society.
By coercing people to swallow the fabricated racism pill, BLM and their socialist supports have convinced the left to imagine an America where it is ok to destroy statues of Christopher Columbus, St. Junipero Serra, King St. Louis IX, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and Our Lord Jesus Christ.
1917 Russia was no different. Today we see our statues destroyed, Churches vandalized and torched, priests and faithful assaulted, and tomorrow American's will see churches shut, sanctuaries removed, and parishioners imprisoned.
Racism is being fabricated, manipulated, and used to foster the socio-political conditions to install a marxist fabric over the United States; a socio-economic and political fabric where Christianity can not exist.
Political, business, and religious leaders, including Bishop Seitz of El Paso, who publicly support and fail to anathematize BLM, their supporters, and marxist ideology are not only complicit in their crimes against life, liberty, and property, but are also guilty of the heresy of modernism.
If I'm wrong in my criticism, then the Diocese of El Paso would not have the conditions to witness seven church vandalisms over the past three years, including the recent destruction and desecration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus statue in St. Patrick's Cathedral.
In Christ Crucified and the Most Victorious Heart of Jesus.
