A 37-year-old man from New Jersey was arrested after attempting to enter St Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan with two gasoline cans Wednesday night, police say.
Church ushers stopped the man at about 8 p.m. and notified nearby officers with the NYPD Critical Response Command, who took him into custody.
Authorities say he drove to St. Patrick's, parked in front of Saks and took two gas cans and lighter fluid from the car into the cathedral where he was stopped.
The man's intentions were not immediately clear. The incident came two days after the fire at Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.

Nevermind the gay thing. According to that “Heavy” link, sounds like he couldn’t get laid by any woman. Of course, trying to turn St. Patrick’s into an inferno ain’t the first thing I’d do if I wasn’t having success in that area.

I am sure that it's just some kind of misunderstanding. I'll bet that they will find some hamburgers, and hotdogs in the trunk of his car.

Did he need the lighter fluid in order to ignite the gasoline?

with two gas cans.
Okay how about some better reporting here?
How about this: with two cans of gasoline.
Two gas cans are harmless, as are two gas cans filled with water.
Now two cans of gas? Id be concerned about that!!
Seriously we will see more churches burned around the world this Easter weekend. It appears jihad is on a tear.

The man's intentions were not immediately clear. Because everyone goes to church with a couple of extra gas cans.

At least one of the gas cans did contain gasoline, according to NBC News sources. Police said he had four gallons of gasoline.
Photos, description, etc.
Lamparello is a Boston College-educated philosophy professor who has been involved in the Catholic Church in the past. According to a bio for a recently published book he wrote, A native of New Jersey, Marc Lamparello studied philosophy at Boston College, graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 2004. Marc has been heavily engaged in the study of philosophy from an early age, and is currently working on two other book-length projects, including a witty dialogue on arguments for and against the existence of God, and a series of essays on the epistemology of practical motivation.

His is 37 year old Marc Lamparello of New Jersey. (It’s in the article in the link.)
Searched his name. He’s a white guy. My guess is he’s a nut who thought it would be fun to see St. Patrick’s burn like Notre Dame.
Fortunately, St. Patrick’s has a sprinkler system and the wood inside is coated in fire retardant.

Where did you find that picture of Shep? I have seen it once before. It was Shep at a 1997 Bill Clinton event.
