He is insulted by the priest, and hmmm...interesting.. you think he should have continued to honor the service with his presence.
Do you think Episcopalians and Anglicans leaving the Gay Church should just stay too? Or would that be "dishonoring" the service? lol.
Chi-townChief did no such thing as you suggest
Hmmmm perhaps you're not Catholic, but there is a difference between a Mass and a service. In a Mass you are in the Real Presence presence of God in the Holy Eucharist and that fact puts a special type of onus on the mass-goer. Let's just say you don't idly walk out on Christ and leave it at that. So, no, I'm not that overly concerned about honoring the "service", but I do disagree with an action that I think may put too much emphasis on what a priest says in his homily - which in the larger scheme of things is not the focus of the Mass.
Points well taken - believe me, I'm not anywhere near the best Christian in the world; more like the "bad Catholic" in Walker Percy's 'Love in the Ruins." But the introduction of Ms. Sheehan's brand of anger and hatred at any point in the Mass and, particularly, at the intercessions is a little much for me.
