“I don't think they're going to be happy until they just destroy everybody's religion. Because for them, religion is the enemy of all this because it's what so many of us believe in…they start with Judaism because Judaism is the root of all monotheistic faith and the belief in such a thing as a moral authority and a god and you work out from there.”
This comment is not only interesting, but relevant. Particularly with a series of events that occurred in Argentina.

Fuerte repudio a una muestra de arte feminista con componentes religiosos eróticos
Strong repudiation of a feminist art show with erotic religious components
An exhibition for International Women's Day at the University of Cuyo generated strong controversies between teachers and students, and even the Catholic Church came out to repudiate it, given the erotic content made on religious images.
Some more context. In the face of the "art" exhibition, the community complained to the university rector, but the complaint was ignored, and in the face of this fact, the people, the believers, could not stand it any longer and took matters into their own hands.
Un grupo de personas rezó en la sala donde se exponían los trabajos en la UNCuyo y, luego, algunas obras fueron destruidas. El Rectorado presentará una denuncia. La Pastoral Social cuestionó la violencia y antes había criticado la muestra.

Destrozan muestra de arte feminista criticada por la Iglesia: escandaloso ataque en Mendoza | Ciudadanos | La Voz del Interior
They destroy an exhibition of feminist art criticized by the Church: scandalous attack in Mendoza
A group of people prayed in the room where the works were exhibited at the UNCuyo and, later, some works were destroyed. The Rectorate will file a complaint. The Social Pastoral questioned the violence and had previously criticized the show.
The art exhibition "8M- Visual Manifestos" exhibited in the Art Space of the Rectorate of UNCuyo, in Mendoza, generated repudiation by Catholic faithful who went to the room where it was exhibited and after praying destroyed some works.
A group of about 50 people entered the room and destroyed the exhibition organized by the Department of Extension of the Faculty of Art and Design, which had been denounced for "symbolic violence against Christian religious signs" by some teachers and students from the university itself. and questioned by the Social Pastoral of the Archbishopric of Mendoza.
Now, the thing here that is most striking and that for many believers results in what anyone would call betrayal is the Archdiocese's pronouncement on the subject:
The Archdiocese of Mendoza repudiated the destruction of the UNCuyo artistic exhibition and condemned the violence
“We repudiate this act of physical violence towards the works exhibited there. We stand in solidarity with the artists who saw the fruit of their work and effort affected," they stated.
Of course, this is generating a wave of controversy, criticism, etc.
Argentina is a country where educational institutions, although secular, have always accepted some use of religious symbolism since the majority of its inhabitants profess the Catholic faith. This is obviously due to the Hispanic cultural heritage. However, it was never a problem to have crosses and virgins in those places... until now.
We must also add that now there is a whole wave of victimhood by the progressive sectors (liberals), generalized demonization of violence and various accusations of who is the fascist or the Nazi, who is the one who attacks free speech, etc., a war of labels to confuse the population.
