Pro-Lifers Press On Through Angry Mob During Rosary Procession for the Unborn in Brooklyn

The Lord sent us on this mission to give testimony to our faith in Him and to the sanctity of life,’ Father Fidelis Moscinski told LifeSiteNews.

BROOKLYN, New York, July 22, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – During a Witness for Life Rosary procession in New York earlier this month, pro-abortion protesters attempted to block pro-lifers as they processed from a Catholic Church to a Planned Parenthood abortion center.

Beginning this year, pro-lifers have been gathering at St. Paul’s Church in Brooklyn every second Saturday of the month to defend the unborn. They begin at 8 a.m. with Mass, followed by the Rosary procession to the local Planned Parenthood facility seven blocks away.

On Saturday, July 10, about 80 pro-lifers were met by protesters from the group New York City for Abortion Rights (NYCFAR). The abortion activists gathered outside the church and screamed pro-murder chants throughout the Mass. This is the second time in which NYCFAR organized a counterprotest, disrupting the June 12 procession as well.

Despite police presence, it took two hours to traverse the seven blocks to the abortion clinic. LifeSite interviewed participants, including veteran pro-life activist and Red Rose Rescuer Father Fidelis Moscinski, the leader of Witness for Life in Manhattan.

Father Moscinski said, “It was a beautiful, but challenging time of prayer, intercession, especially as we were standing at the Planned Parenthood and processing there praying for the women who were going in, and also for this group that was obstructing us today.”

“Jesus said, ‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for the kingdom of heaven, for the sake of justice,’ and in a sense, we experienced some taste of that today,” he continued. “We were blessed even though we were reviled and spoken evil of by that group.”

Utterly satanic. You just know that demons were right behind these people driving them into a frenzy of hate.

“screamed pro-murder chants throughout the Mass”

In normal states interference with a religious worship ceremony is illegal. The state should have brought charges against those who were yelling during Mass.

Never having lived in a blue state, or at least one that was red when I lived there, this seems common sense. But this, of course, is a blue state where the god of government rules.

Angry mob translates into a pack of demon possessed people. I’m glad my mother and father who were both WWII Veterans are not having to witness what has become of a country they fought for. We are dealing with a sickness far worse than any kind of virus.

They mocked Jesus, and fitted him with a crown of thorns.

Why don’t they ever protest outside mosques? Muslims are also against abortion, but for some reason the PP morons leave them alone. It’s a head-scratcher for sure, lol.

Planned Parenthood has about as much to do with parenting as BLM has to do with black lives.

I wonder if it has ever occurred to them that the reason they’re here, free to scream their support for abort, is because their mothers did not abort them.

They leave them alone because they don’t want a beat-down from the muzzles. Pacifism did not work for Afghan Buddhist, Christians from the Middle East, nor anyone else.

At least you have to hand it to the Muslims, they see the injustice of killing the unborn. There are some Muslims you would want to know, others not so much. Just personal experience.

Sprinkle some holy water on the protesters they’d probably burst into flame.
