Planned Disruption at the Cathedral after Mass

I received this bit of news in a weekly email newsletter from a local "Ecumenical Catholic Community"...a group which pretends to be Catholic while denying that which is Catholic...go figure...

SNAP Vigil
Sunday, January 7th, 11:00-11:30 am
St. Louis Cathedral on Lindell

January 7th, 2007 will be the 5th anniversary of the Boston Globe story revealing the abuse in Boston. We are planning vigils across the country to remind people that while some things have changed, the church is still operating in much the same way - the perp comes first, PR campaigns cover a multitude of errors and they can buy the best legal advice available. We will be in front of the Cathedral on Lindell at 11:00 am for just 30 minutes. There are still many perps active in Saint Louis - we need to make people aware that the crisis is not over. This is a simple action you can take that will protect kids. Please bring your family and friends and join SNAP members at this vigil.

If there are so many "perps" still active in St Louis as this group contends, then why do they not protest in front of the residences of the "perps"? And how does this childish behavior "protect kids"? At least, it's doesn't appear to be a "Candlelight Vigil"...(for those who do not understand that reference, click here.)

Perhaps, if these people would get on their knees in prayer and beseech our Lord's mercy and help, they would accomplish much more good. We, too, should do likewise.
