“It’s about a Catholic saint”

Could not be more wrong. It has become about drunkenness. Public drunkenness to boot. Kinda late to bemoan the coming of immorality.

Too late to bemoan immorality? It's not as if it's something new. It's original sin. That's why we have parades in honor of Catholic saints. To keep reality (that is, God) before us—even while some of the brethren are retching over there into the storm drains. But I don't know if you've been to NYC's parade lately. You'd be hard-pressed to find public drunkenness. The Paddies will grab you right quick for having an open container.

The distinction here is that you don't let buggers use the occasion to advertise their perversion, any more than you'd let drunks carry a banner promoting drunkenness. (Maybe it's just as well Guinness is out of it.)

Are you saying your sensibility is too delicate to preach to fallen man?

You’re right that public drunkenness has been cracked down for years now. The Jersey fools still muck up the commuter trains and then spend the day vomiting in the bathrooms of Penn Station but rarely do you see open containers on 5th Avenue or beyond.
