The irony of having Catholics praying the rosary thrown out of a cathedral while an "interfaith ceremony" is held there seems to have been lost on some folks here.

Like them or not, these SSPX folks really know how to make their point on solid doctrinal grounds.

There is nothing wrong with meeting occasionally in a Cathedral with people of other faiths. There is no pretense that this is a Mass or a replacement for the Mass.

That's exactly the rationale bishops all over the U.S. use when they invite radical pro-abortion "Catholics" into a church for some political grandstanding.

Abortion-enthusiast, apostate Catholics are the foulest of the foul; not to be compared with devout, morally upright, Torah-loving Jews. Observant Catholics have more in common morally with observant Jews than we do with, e.g. Andrew Cuomo or Nazi Pelosi.

I didn’t see anything about people being thrown out of the Cathedral for praying the rosary.

And I think there is a big difference between glorifying pro-abortion politicians—which I agree is wrong—and holding a joint prayer meeting with friendly people of different faiths.

I would, incidentally, draw the line at inviting Muslims to such a session, because I don’t think Islam is compatible with Christianity. But there is plenty in common among faithful Catholics, Protestants, and Jews. And what I used to say when I got together with Evangelicals is that we can agree to disagree on a number of points—but there is much that we hold in common. That makes it possible to work together, provided that you don’t push it too hard. I didn’t see any indication that that kind of false “ecumenism” was involved in this case.
