County Armagh Grand Orange Lodge unreservedly condemns the
arson attacks on Roman Catholic Churches last night and calls
on all right-thinking people in the Protestant and loyalist
community to isolate those who would engage in such sacrilege
and wanton destruction.
"This kind of reprehensible behaviour has absolutely
no part in our traditions and culture and we reiterate most
strongly our belief in and commitment to the concept of civil
and religious liberty for all", said the County Armagh
statement.
"Those who burn or destroy Churches of whatever denomination
are the enemies of all in a neighbourly caring society and
the Orange Institution as an organisation which is pledged
to decent Christian principles expresses its total abhorrence
of these satanic acts", adds the statement.
