This is of course far from being anything that could be classed as artistic but we can ask whether there are walls in the city that can be written on and others that are more deserving of protection. Obviously these walls were chosen to increase the shock value, and the messages would have been quickly overlooked had they been splashed anywhere else, but from a judicial sense no difference would be made if the perpetrator were caught. Is this the right situation?

Very interesting. I have noticed that there seems to be some general code of ethics (occasionally ignored) among taggers, that they stay away from well maintained buildings and only tag those that are in disrepair.
As you may know, I'm a bit of a fan of street art, graffiti... but defintely no of tagging, especially if on buildings like churches...!
I hope the church will soon be restored!

Est-il dans la nature des femmes d'être gentille ? Une vraie question qui poursuit la réflexion de Simone de Beauvoir : on ne nait pas femme, on le devient.
I do agree, graffiti don't belong to churches. Our church is in the 11e arr. and about once to twice per MONTH we find graffiti on door or walls outside! It's sad but I guess it says something about people's minds... carelessness, the wish to anger (they don't; we find it just sad), being rebels? I don't know; the city of Paris is paying for the cleaning... so in the end it's every citizen who pays.
