The anti-war crowd is at it again and have reached a new low. I witnessed the futile attempts by students on my campus to resurrect the 1960s by protesting the war in Iraq on Thursday, which included disturbing classes in the building that I work. It seems that anti-war idiots can not bring themselves to honor Easter and respect those who are worshiping God and celebrating the resurrection of Christ. Chicago is the latest battle against these anti-American, anarchist traitors. Their victims, the parishioners at the Holy Name Cathedral. The parishioners were celebrating Easter mass with Cardinal Francis George, when three men and three women interrupted his homily, shouting, “Even the Pope calls for peace.” In addition to this rude disruption, these creatures decided to squirt fake blood on themselves and innocent parishioners. Damaging a church and assaulting worshipers, what a great way to help the anti-war cause.

These immature protesters were shouted down by a couple of parishioners and hauled out by security and ushers. In addition, these ingrates have been arrested on felony charges of criminal damage to property and two counts of simple battery, which is a misdemeanor. I would like to express my sympathy to Cardinal George and the parishioners for what they suffered today. I hope that they will remember to forgive as Christ forgave those who crucified Him. To the perpetrators of the crime, I hope that you will apologize for your actions and turn from your ways and seek more peaceful displays.

This story raises the important question, as it relates to the anti-war movement, is nothing sacred anymore? We put up with your disruption of our workday, as you block streets for protests that working persons use to get to work (because we all know that many of these persons do not work). We put up with their vile displays, like dousing themselves in blood, burning items, and destroying property. Now, we can’t even escape them on a day of rest and celebration. We can’t find peace in the church worshiping our God, as these people insist on the right to disrupt our places of worship. To anti-war protesters, why can’t you take a day or two off and leave us alone? We know you don’t like the war, but please let people worship on Easter and other Sundays in peace. Keep your garbage outside the church doors. Let the church remain a sacred and peaceful place and, to those involved in the Chicago stunt, clean up your mess and give an offering to the church.
