A priest in Singapore was stabbed in the face during Mass, while three friars in Spain were injured by a man who claimed to be Jesus Christ. In Poland, a priest died from brain damage after being attacked with an axe. Hate crimes against Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and others are increasing worldwide, particularly in Europe and the US.
