NO! And it would be overturned after they are confronted by a pitchfork wielding crowd.

Has the ACLU files an injunction yet? Yes! They should be forcing another 122 to broadcast "Sir" Elton John's wedding.

His Beatitude Ignace Moussa I (Basile) Cardinal Daoud, Prefect of the Congregation for the Eastern Churches, and Patriarch of Antioch. And what looks like a black skullcap is actually a hood, symbol of monasticism.
Pope Benedict XVI, like his predecessor JPII, ensures the presence of Eastern Catholic prelates at major liturgies as a constant reminder to all that the Catholic Church is both Western and Eastern and breathes with two lungs.
