I need to give your question more thought. I still don't understand why it would bother anyone.

The people that were praying the rosary around me were using a normal speaking voice that was almost
drowned out by the crowd -
when we walked past a group of nuns they were praying the Mercy Chaplet but it was barely audible

The Notre Dame Pro-Life kids were LOUD! :)
They were signing and chanting some great stuff (great shirts that read Irish For Life)

There was a protestant group near us loudly signing Amazing Grace and asking people to join in

I'll admit that since those are signs of my faith that I didn't notice it as out of the ordinary -
I saw everyone as being just pro-life...and we were busy trying not to get separated from our group :)

I'm not going to even touch the Gay pro-life issue. It's an oxymoron to me. I have a hard enough
time loving the sinner and hating the sin without getting drawn into that one.
Although, knowing the leanings of the organizers - why does their sexuality have to come into it.
I saw many people just waving flags that said "Wisconsin For Life"..."Pennsylvania For LIFE"...
couldn't they find a state that would take them?

You should know that I had no problem with the people praying the Rosary. But I know protestants who would have had a big problem with it.

I was walking and singing with a group of Franciscans (I think they were Franciscans) for a while. They had a banner in front of them proclaiming something about the Holy Robe. I know many protestants who would not have been able to march with that group because of that banner.

Understand, I'm not saying that either group is right or wrong. I'm just talking about sensitivities toward other faiths.

And, obviously, you and I both know that Jews would not have been able to walk behind a banner proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord. Fortunately, I don't think they had to.

Shalom.
