Despite Texas Gov. Greg Abbot’s repeal of the state mask mandate, a pregnant Catholic mother was kicked out of Mass in the Diocese of Dallas for failing to wear a mask.
Father Milton Ryan, pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Parish, is alleged to have called the police while the service was underway and have the young mother threatened with arrest for trespass. Deidre Hairston returned to her pew after receiving communion, with her one-year-old baby in her arms, to find three police officers waiting for her.
One officer threatened to put her in handcuffs if she did not comply with their request to leave the premises, repeatedly insisting that the church was a “business” and that the pastor had a right to refuse her entry. In response to the incident, the Diocese of Dallas issued a lame statement, clarifying that while the bishop has not mandated masks, individual parishes are permitted to make their own rules.
It’s a disturbing development indeed when Catholic churches are now imposing more stringent restrictions on Americans’ God-given and constitutionally enshrined right to worship than government. How has Christ’s church, whose long list of sainted martyrs boasts among its ranks illustrious names like Peter, Paul, Thomas Becket, and Maximilian Kolbe, produced the officious bullies who are now charged with shepherding Our Lord’s flock?

Is this for real? Priests and pastors calling the cops on their parishioners over masks?
Father Milton Ryan, pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Parish ... in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas. That's gay central for those of you that aren't familiar with it. Fr. Ryan and Holy Trinity are extremely liberal-minded.
Lol. Well, they used to burn heretics at the stake. Maybe the priests just think that refusing masks is apostasy. It’s okay to attack your parishioners in that case isn’t it? Isn’t mask wearing some where in one of the books? They always seem to find some passage that justifies whatever the latest craze is.
Our archbishop is Joseph Neumann. Very good guy. He says that we must assume that people who don’t wear masks are not doing so for health reasons. Most of the time he doesn’t wear one. I don’t.
They probably wished for God to wear a mask too.
Hey you guys, God IS wearing a mask against the stench coming from this world and He is wearing earplugs against the pitiful screams coming from aborted babies.

Catholic priests are nothing more than child molesting scumbags. That, and tyrants.
I bet the “priests” don’t wear masks when “disciplining” the altars boys!
You missed the point of this whole debacle. In philosophical terms you have placed the blame of this behavior on exactly the wrong categories.
If you had said “gay Catholic priests” are blah blah blah you might have been nearer the truth.
Is it qua (i.e. because of) Catholic that Fr. Milton does these things? No. Is it qua priest that he does these things? No. Is it qua rejection of the moral law that he does these things? YES.
If you are not willing to analyze and understand where the source of evil originates you will never be able to contribute meaningfully to either the identification or the solution of these problems.
