We have to keep reason and get the facts of the situation.
No ...there is no movement against Christianity, unless one wants to promote that idea.

This was an unfortunate episode in the evacuation of the church by riot police that were ordered. Some were a bit brutal, some of the riot police were chanting prayers while evacuating.

It is important to note that this evacuation was due and impeded for a couple of years was demanded by the justice on request of the owners who sold the church. The owners were the Association of Catholic & Apostolic Chapels based in Belgium.
There is no religious content on the incident other than the commercial sale of a church forcefully occupied since a few months by a traditionalist priest disciple of the Socerdosal Fraternity Saint- Pie X, of Monsegnieur Lefebvre.
No more derogatory comments to be made, other than a messed-up riot police job.
Except the fact that riot police had to be called, meaning that normal police were not capable of such evacuation in the face of the occupters.
