Reformation Charlotte does not condone this kind of violence against enemies of the faith, regardless of their ideology. As Christians, we are given the ministry of reconciliation. We are created in the Image of God with the ability to think and to reason, and God calls us to reason with the lost and to persuade them to the truth. It is our duty to proclaim the truth of God’s word and to destroy arguments raised up against the knowledge of God. God never calls us to punch out Catholic priests. We’re a religion of heart, soul, and mind, not violence.

We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

2 Corinthians 10:5

We’re not sure what the attacker’s motivation was.
