From the Daily Mail comes this.
I have some sympathy for this fellow.
Severed pig’s head dumped on doorstep of crime fighting Italian priest after he condemned Mafia
Mobsters have dumped the severed head of a pig on the doorstep of a brave crime fighting priest, it emerged yesterday.
Father Ennio Stamile made the grim discovery as he left his house for morning Mass and it was the second time he had been targeted after his car was vandalised last week.
Detectives are convinced he is being singled out after he started to regularly condemn the criminal activities of the local mafia known as the ‘Ndrangheta during his weekly parish sermons.The bloodied animal head was found with a piece of cloth stuffed in its mouth outside Father Stamile’s home in Cetraro near Cosenza in southern Italy and it is the mob’s trademark way of intimidation and convincing people to stop talking.

I have received some pretty ugly and threatening things over the past years. Nothing this ugly, of course! But this is the sort of thing, kicked up a few notches, that the left and liberals do. They might not send severed pig heads or horse heads or dead fish wrapped in newsprint, but their tactics are much the same. And you what and whom I am talking about.
We cannot give ground to bullies.
In any event, pray for this priest, and all priests and bishops to have strength in the time to come, and for our guardian angels to work on the spiritual plane.
