What a sad state of affairs. I shall keep her in prayer.
What is even more sad is this, from further down in the article:
Allgeier was sent a certified letter by an attorney in Etherington's office telling Allgeier she is no longer welcome on any property belonging to St. James Catholic Church."Should you enter these premises, you will be considered a trespasser and subject to arrest," said the letter, dated May 22 and signed by Leslie A. Winneberger.
Allgeier went to the 5 p.m. Mass on Saturday and was asked to leave. When she refused, the police were called, and she was escorted off church property, Allgeier said.
It appears that the nearest parish to St. James is about 10 miles away (St. Ann's). It's not like it's just a few blocks down the road. That, to me, makes it a doubly sad state of affairs.
Note: not that I am condoning her actions...but if she doesn't have ready transportation, they may have effectively excommunicated her.
