Incidentally, the restaruant is out of business and had nothing to do with the event except rent the back yard.
The party was catered by another caterer and not the restaurant. The monastery provided an entrance from the highway, toilets, parking and let the armed guards keep pro-life activists from protesting.
The Monastery could have said, NO. But they didn't. Instead, they said YES, TO SATAN AND TO BABY KILLING.
Isn't that nice!!
Isn't that nice!!
Oh very nice. Of course, if anyone knows the way the entrance is situated on the highway, it clearly appears as though the Church was sponsoring the event.
