Church in Paris vandalized .... media silent

He struck, broke six candelabra and a broken statue of St. Therese of the Child Jesus. He also opened the Baptistery and spilled the water used for baptisms. However, it has not approached tabernacles (the most sacred of a Catholic church where are kept under lock and key, the consecrated hosts ")
