The recent series of attacks on religious leaders has made people ask whether or not something is wrong with the country.
One day after the National Harmony and Religious Leaders Grand Assembly and a meeting between religious leaders and President Joko Widodo at the Bogor Palace, an attack occurred during Sunday mass at Santa Lidwina church in Bedog, Sleman, Yogyakarta. An unidentified attacker brought a sword into the church and harmed a number of congregations, including priest Karl Edmund Prier SJ. The attacker was arrested by the police.
