No.
This would be a horrible crime against the freedom of religion.
The Catholic Church seeks and supports the freedom of religion for all human beings.
In the Vatican II document, Declaration on Religious Freedom, Dignitatis Humanae (Human Dignity), the Church states:
The human person has a right to religious freedom. This freedom means that all men are to be immune from coercion on the part of individuals or of social groups and of any human power, in such wise that no one is to be forced to act in a manner contrary to his own beliefs, whether privately or publicly, whether alone or in association with others, within due limits.
For the entire document, see: http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_decl_19651207_dignitatis-humanae_en.html
With love in Christ.

I guess I just don't understand why a church, or synagogue, etc would be found offensive. What I think the problem is this- for those who want all Christian symbols out of the public arena, and all prayer taken out of schools, etc, and God taken out of the pledge of Allegiance, etc, is this- if there is no outward sign of Christ, then they can "THINK" that they are living in denial of the fact that they are sinners. God is real, and no matter how much people try to "GET GOD OUT" of the environment will not be successful- because God is not limited to a church, a school or a pledge-

People walking up and down the Streets naked and don't get arrested or reffered to a mental facility for Mania, Depression or Demetia and My Lord and Saviours House is Offensive to them? I guess so it's a reminder of their fallen state and the atheist that thinks he is the end to the means of their own problems? Removing religious icons and the belief in God will only make us more resolute. Praise the Lord! Merry Christmas and Laus Deo...
