SF parishes won’t join this year’s “gay pride” march

...but Most Holy Redeemer will have beverage booth

... Fr. Steve Meriwether, pastor of Most Holy Redeemer Church in San Francisco’s predominantly homosexual Castro District, said parishioners chose not to participate of their own volition. “It is really just our response to… well, we’re tired of the hate mail,” he said. “The parishioners see their participation in the parade as an evangelical outreach, but they don’t enjoy being called nasty names either. This wasn’t because of any request from the archdiocese.”

But Maurice Healy, director of archdiocesan communications, said the chancery did request that Most Holy Redeemer stay out of this year’s “Pride Weekend,” including the annual parade.

Most Holy Redeemer recently implemented a policy of prohibiting all cameras and video equipment in the church unless given prior approval. This is a response to the fiasco last year where 2 members of the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" (a group of transvestites who dress as nuns) received Communion from Archbishop George Niederauer and the event was captured on film and spread over the internet.

What will they do if one is caught? The truth always surfaces sooner or later. Apparently they still have things to hide.

Fr. Meriwether says the decision was made on the advice of legal counsel. “They told us that if we could find out who had taken the pictures, then parishioners who were outraged at having their pictures taken and published could sue. So we’re liable as well,” he said.

LOL! Some parishioners were outraged? Why? Because their dissent and sacrilege had been exposed? And they want to sue? What buffoons! They are either too ignorant to understand or too rebellious to care that if they would adhere to the teachings of the Church they would have not attracted so much attention to themselves - but that is evidently what they want...human respect, notoriety, a claim to infamy, a desire to be a public scandal...
