Protestor enters sanctuary during US bishops’ Mass

November 15, 2016

As the US bishops celebrated Mass at St. Peter Claver Church, an African-American parish in West Baltimore, a protestor walked into the sanctuary, kissed the altar, and held up a banner that said, “Stop persecuting gays,” according to observers.

Blogger Rocco Palmo identified the protestor as Roy Bourgeois, a onetime Maryknoll priest who was excommunicated and subsequently laicized.

Homosexual persecutors calling their persecuted victim (the Church) a persecutor seems to fit these Orwellian times.

Roy Bourgeois popping up is basically a punch line isn't it?
