Smashing ministry

Vigilio (Rome, 355-Val Rendena, Giugno 405)

 In the course of his evengelisation ministry in the Alto Adige and Trentino valleys, on finding a pagan idol on his route he destroyed it.

Can you think of an example in your ministry - lived or foreseen if still in your seminarian years - where acting with more pastoral acumen would have been more advisable?
