Good Friday Protestors at St Patricks Cathedral (video and pics)

On April 2, 2010, for at least three hours on Holy Friday, some familiar protestors came out with the clear intention of offending all who passed-bySt. Patrick's Cathedral. Easter, Good Friday.... For them nothing is sacred.

Certainly not Good Friday since those who came to worship were handed florescent orange flyers with the heading, "Clergy Sexual Abuse".

Some video (inside the Cathedral as well):





Wonder if this same crowd will come out to save our most vulnerable from abortion. Will they demand an end to the murder of their fellow Christians in Nigeria? Highly unlikely. Since they were out in front of the Cathedral on Palm Sunday, one can safely assume they will return on Easter. Sadly, the police presence was noticeably nonchalant.

Then they went inside...I followed them. They didn't stay long. They didn't even enter the sanctuary. (Guess it's just not their 'thing'....Church....)

Once back outside, a few of the protestors were resting in the shade of St. Patrick's steps ...meeting old friends....having a gay old time...

Guess the passersby weren't too interested and found the perfect receptacle....
