Photos of the crime show graffiti that reads “Lucifer is right,” “Devil, take me with you,” “Thank you, Satan” and “The neighbors hate the Church,” according to the report.

“… the door and some of the walls of the façade of the Church of the Sacred Heart were defaced with graffiti. A trash fire in front of the church was extinguished by firefighters called to the scene. This fire did not damage the church,” the Archdiocese of Bordeaux said in a statement.

Local prefect Étienne Guyot said they are investigating the “intolerable acts” against the church in a statement on Twitter.
