A Christmas Season Protest at Washburn University


Men, women and children carried signs that read: "Shame on Washburn," "Is everything protected expect Catholicism?" "Stop blaspheming the Catholic faith now," and "The God you laugh at will judge you."

"On one part of campus they're celebrating the birth of Christ, and on the other side of campus they're mocking millions that follow his faith," said Francis Slobodnik, event organizer.

Mark Serafino came from St. Louis to participate in the protest. He said coming to Topeka wasn't a question of distance but one of purpose.

"When we, as Catholics, allow our faith to be attacked and stand by, we allow our faith to be destroyed," he said.
The sign says it all! Is not the answer to the question, "Yes"?
