WOW, I was under the impression only Muslims had the monopoly on religious intolerance.

Don't be an idiot. The priest wasn't trying to ban yoga from the world, or protest Hinduism, or any of those thiongs. He was simply exercising control over what things happened in the church building that he is responsible for. That church is supposed to to be a place devoted to the worship of God, not some community hall for every new age activity that people can come up with. I'm sure he doesn't care how many people do yoga outside his church.

The very concept of "tolerance" has been so perverted that it has become meaningless. These days, people think "tolerance" means that they should be able to do whatever they want, whenever they want, no matter who it inconveniences or harms, and if there is any objection, it must be "intolerance". Of course, if it is a white, male Christian who wants to do something, then people are free to crap all over him all they want.

Fr-freak - couldn’t agree more it is not intolerant or bull-headed for the Priest - who is responsible for the going’s on in his Parish and on Church grounds - to refuse usage of such to anything he feels is not of spiritual benefit to his congregation.

We should all rejoice that an individual takes responsibility for his role and makes other’s accountable in doing so - isn’t this some of what fr ultimately is all about!

I don’t think any of us really understand how much of this PC tolerance stuff has infected even our own lives.
