Eucharistic ministers wear pro-Kamala Harris shirts at a Washington, D.C. parish
A parish in the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. permitted its extraordinary ministers to wear Kamala Harris campaign T-shirts while distributing Holy Communion at a Sunday Mass immediately preceding Election Day.
The Eucharistic Ministers, as well as some lay people attending the Mass who also wore pro-Kamala shirts and hats, apparently were responding to their pastors’ invitation issued the previous week: “Next Sunday, we’re asking you to wear your election apparel.”
“Well, it seems that Fr. Ray Moore, the pastor at St. Thomas More, is once again injecting national politics,” a Washington Catholic wrote on a blog. “It seems that last Sunday he announced that all parishioners should wear their ‘election apparel.’”
“There were some cheers at this announcement,” noted the blogger, who identifies him or herself simply as “An Archdiocese of Washington Catholic.”
“What would happen if someone came with a Trump t-shirt?” the writer wondered.
“Would they be welcome?”

Appalling.
Disgusting. Putting skin color above religion. Using their position to push their political agenda.
“Eucharistic Minister”: Is this a feature or a bug of the New Mass?
Tax That Church!
What’s Mickey Mouse doing there?
It’s a feature (according the evil people who over use EXTRAORDINARY ministers of Holy Communion).
It’s a bug (according to Catholics).
Back in the day, I was invited to become one. I declined. I was asked: “why?” I responded: “there are too many of you already”.
Doesn’t this fall into the Black Exception to no politicking in churches?
My grandmother worshipped at St. Thomas More. MANY moons ago (I guess that goes without saying).
St. Thomas More is in Arlington, Va, not DC. I was baptized there. Those baby-killing bastards.
Never mind, there’s another one on Fourth St downtown. Figures.
15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[a]
John 2:15-17
Vat II has turned the Mass into a three ring circus.
Amen!!!
But if I talk about politics in the pulpit someone will call the police and try to get me arrested, or talk to the deacons about how I shouldn’t because of the constitution.
Aaargh.

I had to look Thomas More up on the map. Just a few blocks away from the Lutheran church that I attended when I lived in Arlington.
