Homosexual group to "celebrate" at Cathedral of St. Paul
By Matt C. Abbott

From the Web site of the Catholic Pastoral Committee on Sexual Minorities:

    Dignity Twin Cities invites you to join us as we celebrate Solidarity Sunday on October 8, 2006, at the noon Mass at the Cathedral of St. Paul. Celebrated on the Sunday before National Coming Out Day, the themes of Solidarity Sunday are building solidarity with our friends who are not part of the glbt community, and working to end violence, including spiritual violence, against glbt people. As part of our celebration at the Cathedral of St. Paul this year, we will be handing out small ribbons to pin on, and small prayer cards explaining a little bit about Solidarity Sunday. Please plan on joining this wonderful celebration.

I doubt the St. Paul and Minneapolis archdiocese would sanction something such as this, but I can't help but think there are at least a few Dignity sympathizers in, er, high places who give the group the proverbial wink and a nod.

Meanwhile, Father Robert Altier continues to endure persecution from the powers that be.

Depressing.

(Thanks to the reader who gave me the heads-up on this item.)
