Get ready.The faithful Catholics in St. Louis who made their way through the protestors to the Altar of the Lord may show us the future.
(Archbishop Robert Carlson) The faithful Catholics in St. Louis who made their way through the protesters to the Altar of the Lord show us the way forward. The leadership of this good Bishop is an inspiration. He is to be commended.
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (Catholic Online) - On Monday, Nov. 30, 2009, the “Vital Voice newspaper”, which claims to “provide a diverse and independent voice for the St. Louis Community”, ran a story by Colin Murphy entitled “Hundreds Protest Outside of St. Louis' Cathedral Basilica.” The story was an example of fringe homosexual advocacy that has as its goal a Cultural Revolution. It began with these words:
“Grey skies framed the Neo-Byzantine dome of St. Louis' Cathedral Basilica on Nov. 29 as hundreds of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (GLBT) and allied supporters protested the archdiocese's donation of $10,000 to the successful effort to reverse marriage equality in Maine. The protest, which took place on the public portion of sidewalk in front of the New Cathedral, was organized by St. Louis based GLBT rights organization, Show Me No Hate. A smaller contingent of protesters was on hand for morning mass and the organization plans to rally outside the iconic edifice each Sunday throughout Advent — the period of preparation and waiting for Christmas.”
What occurred on the first Sunday in Advent in front of that Church will continue throughout Advent and perhaps beyond. It may become a regular experience for those who want to go to Mass to have to walk around protest signs. It may also spread beyond St. Louis. However, the Church cannot and will not change the truth about marriage. Thus, the protestors have absolutely no chance of achieving what they would call “success”.
The article quoted Ed Reggi, the founder of a group called “Show me No Hate”, who said “No longer will we tolerate the religious funding of hate… The Archbishop showed no mercy for the poor, sick and homeless in St. Louis. The $10,000 Carlson wired to Maine could have helped the empty food pantries and local toy drives this Christmas season." Hmmm… "the money could have been given to the poor..." where have I heard that before? What the homosexual (or bi-sexual, or transgender…) cultural revolutionaries are really upset about is the perfectly legal and morally commendable contribution which Archbishop Carlson made to the defense of true marriage in Maine.
