Rev. Francis Pal, age 80, was severely beaten by rioters on the evening of Friday, June 30. The priest was hit and fell. While the elderly cleric was lying on the ground, the rioters continued to beat him. The priest was seriously injured and was unconscious for some time. His attackers also took his mobile phone and wallet.
During the riots that took place in recent days in France, an elderly priest was physically attacked by dozens of hooligans. Eyewitnesses reported that the priest was surrounded and beaten. The priest was hospitalized in the intensive care unit. The man will be in serious condition.
Francis Pal is not the only priest who has been attacked recently in France. On June 12, Joseph Eid, the rector of the Parisian parish of Notre-Dame-de-Lebanon, was attacked by a group of hooligans. And in doing so, I shouted hateful things in the direction of Christianity. Recently in 2020, a report was published stating that there has been a rise in anti-Christian hate crimes and discrimination and intolerance against Christians in Europe. France was named in that report as one of the top five countries with the most accidents. Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and Sweden are the other countries that ranked very high in the report.
