The City of Sydney ordered the removal of an image of St Mary's Cathedral from advertising of an LGBT concert after Sydney's Catholic Archbishop described it as "frustrating and upsetting".
Events group Heaps Gay will stage a "Live and Queer" variety show on Saturday night in the St Mary's Cathedral forecourt as part of an outdoor performance series being run by the council.
In a Facebook post yesterday, Archbishop Anthony Fisher wrote that because Cathedral Square was council land, "the decision about the content of the concert and its advertising is unfortunately not ours to make".
"We have asked City of Sydney that the Cathedral image be removed from the advertising," he wrote.
"It is frustrating and upsetting that St Mary's Cathedral, the mother church of Australia, has been used so provocatively to promote this event and such little sensitivity shown to people of faith.
"In this great season of Lent, we need to pray to ask the Lord that in our great and 'tolerant' city of Sydney, that religious belief will be respected and protected and that we will all rediscover an appreciation for what is sacred."

You might be amazed at the many Catholic “venues” the gays have used, including the Immaculate Conception Basilica grotto.
Gay activists apparently decide to effectively desecrate a major cathedral in Sydney.
PING!
Must have mistaken it for the Anglican (Episcopalian) Cathedral. /s
LOL!
