As a father of two who attend class at Holy Name Cathedral, I am incensed about the absolutely inappropriate war protest that attendees of Easter mass had to endure on Sunday, March 23rd. This incident goes beyond the boundaries of sane taste and now these young war protesters will most likely carry a felony arrest on their records for the rest of their lives. What would have happened had these protesters chosen another holiday and another venue for their protest, like maybe the St. Patrick's Day Parade. Do you think fair justice would have been handed out right then and there had these protesters chosen to squirt fake blood and lie down on Columbus the Saturday a week before Easter?

For sporting events, they refuse to air footage of fans running on to the field, yet the media replayed this ad nauseum. Could be time to give the cameraman some common sense rules.
Great point. In post interviews, the protesters said they chose Holy Name because they knew there would be full media coverage for the Cardinal's Easter mass. The super extended media coverage was the badge of honor they were looking for. My sadness in this is for the 80-year old usher who broke down in tears and for the kids who in no way can understand what the whole point was. Bad choice in venue, bad taste all the way.
