Brother Adam Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 http://wdtprs.com/blog/2011/02/creepy-homosexual-demonstration-at-chicagos-holy-name-cathedral/ The police are no longer enforcing the law when homosexual activists trespass and disrupt Catholic worship services. Like we have said, it is going to get worse (and is getting worse). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 The police are more afraid of lawsuits than doing what is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sternhauser Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I saw nothing in that article that indicated any sexual deviants entered the Cathedral to "disrupt" the Mass. Judging from the article and the video, it seems as though they were standing on a public sidewalk, protesting. Is that against a statute? ~Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 It appeared to me that they were on the Cathedral's property and were blocking worshipers from entering the Church. I would say that counts as disruption, just as pro-lifers are jailed for disrupting abortions when they block driveways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Please tell me the time in the video where you saw anyone being blocked from entering the Church. Additionally, you should probably look up where the city property line is. For example, at the Planned Parenthood in D.C., "city property" goes right up to the door, not merely to the sidewalk and fence, according to another Life Site article. Pro-lifers used that to their advantage. Who is to say that the deviants aren't doing the same? ~Sternhauser Edited February 26, 2011 by Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Would a cathedral be considered private property? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think it would, but at the same time those parishoners aren't the people whose names are on the paperwork for the property. So it would essentially be one group using physical force on another group to an extent on a third party's property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havok579257 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 i agree with stern on this one. where is this proof that the protesters barred people from attending mass. you can't complain about there tactics of protest when we as christians do the same thing. the police in the video, everytime they were shown were doing their jobs. so unless there is some actual proof, this thread title is completely misleading.

They're not trying to change anybodies mind, they're just trying to make the Catholic Priests uncomfortable enough that they don't preach anything that is critical of them. The sort of thing that they're doing could easily escalate into a physical fight outside of the church. They are provoking the Catholics there. What if one of the parishioners gets angry and takes a swing at one of the homosexuals? Or what if one of the homosexuals decides that he is going to escalate things and attacks one of the parishioners. I'd hope that the police would at least be standing by to bring things under control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Adam Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 So even though the police admitted that they were breaking the law and harassing Christians, it is okay? I agree with this comment: "exploiting "free assembly" at the expense of "right to worship" is a grave abuse that no taxpaying citizen in this great country should tolerate. Each activist should be in jail for committing what is truly a human rights violation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I didn't see anything in the video that indicated violence on the part of the protesters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
