I was wondering when they would get around to this silliness? Chicago has adopted a similar policy that is common to middle east where Christians are routinely deprived of the means to defend themselves, only here it is church hierarchy stripping us of our second amendment rights

Note to all law abiding citizens.

All Chicago Archdiocese parishes and schools are now defenseless.

All non-law abiding citizens, please look the other way. Thank you.

Any fans remember that episode of Vikings that Athelstan told Ragnar to wait until the Sunday church bells rang before attacking, because he knew that the Christians would all be in church and would have left their weapons outside of the church?

(Hope it works out better in Chicago.)

Yeah, and the muzzies read that too, and are thinking that all those churches are an easy target, since all the obedient good people won’t be armed.

LOL! Cupich is the cutest thang. As if his parishners are even allowed to have guns, living in Chicago.

Those who do have guns are licensed and therefore generally dis-inclined to be sitting ducks for anyone or upon anyone’s request, intending to keep the weapon on their person at all times, for protection of themselves and their sitting ducks family near by.

Cupich needs to be content with just practicing Alternate Nostril Breathing. It’s so relaxing, reports HRC.

What a tough guy! I’m sure all the Catholic grade school students who have been packing heat will be sure to leave their guns at home from now on.

What a jackass.

I suppose that would be a liberal leader’s sort of edict. I am not in his archdiocese but if I were, I’d have to choose to ignore him and protect my family with well-concealed carry and just not let anyone know.

If circumstances called for me to use my pistol - well, I’d be ready to chewed out by the Cardinal. I’d add his dressing down to the collection of those I have already.

Some day soon Cardinals, Priests, and Bishops will be sitting all alone in their churches with just each other and illegal alien children.

That must be their worst nightmare!

Oh.....wait.

“the archdiocese said in a statement, “We thought it would be prudent to issue a policy on firearms as a ‘particular law’ so there would be absolute clarity on our position.”

The policy comes amid a larger effort by the archdiocese to curb gun violence. In April, Cupich pledged $250,000 to support grass-roots anti-violence initiatives and called on parishes to invest in social services and youth programs to reduce poverty and violence throughout the city.”

This sounds like just posturing by a liberal Cardinal. I doubt Catholic school kids carry guns. But hey, this is Chicago.

I have never heard of anyone carrying a gun inside a church.

We have many gun enthusiasts in our parish. I have never seen or heard of anyone carrying a gun in church or at a religious event.

It worked out so well for that French priest a few months back. And for the various African Christians we hear about from time to time.

Thank God this cowardly jackass didn’t try it in last assignment.

Back when I was a young shaver the parish priest at my parochial school carried a pistol on Saturday nights, during and after the lucrative bingo games he sanctioned...he and few other men would carry the receipts the short distance from the school gymnasium to the rectory to be placed in a safe until the banks opened Monday morning...they might have 5-6 thousand dollars in cash, a great amount of money in the late sixties-early seventies, and I have NO DOUBT whatsoever that Father McGinn would’ve shot any sumbitch foolish enough to try to rob them!

Guns in the hands of law-abiding parishioners are much less dangerous than pedophile priests, but then again there has never been much urgency to remove them from facilities owned by any diocese in the Catholic Church.

Watch for Sunday morning armed robberies to become commonplace. Texas had that problem until they allowed concealed carry in church. The robberies stopped immediately.
