Vandals Target Church In San Francisco's Castro

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ― Mayor Gavin Newsom is condemning the vandalism of a Catholic church in San Francisco.

Swastikas and graffiti were spray-painted on the Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church over the weekend in an apparent protest of Proposition 8, which outlawed same-sex marriage in California.

Although prominent Catholic leaders supported Proposition 8, the targeted church is in the Castro District, San Francisco's gay neighborhood.

Pastor Steve Meriweather told radio station KCBS that his parishioners don't support Proposition 8. "I think it's unfortunate that they selected our community to attack," he said, "because it's the wrong one."

In a statement, Newsom called the attack a "cowardly and criminal act."
