We would give these converts a warmer welcome if they showed up at my parish. Come to Atlanta. See the sights. Disrupt Mass at my parish. I am an usher. I am waiting for the President of the United States to condemn this hate crime.

There are any number of venues where police decisions might have been different. Catholics need to recall that Jesus said: “if they hate you, remember they hated me before you”.

"Since they say that no laws have been broken, police have made no arrests." Right, the "right to privacy" discovered in the Constitution applies only to the right of women wanting to abort babies, not to the Constitutional right to practice one's religion.
