Protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza flooded into New York City's most iconic cathedral, breaking up a Saturday-night Easter Mass and throwing the tranquil scene into disarray.
On the evening of March 30, candles illuminated the inside of St. Patrick's Cathedral as observers gathered for the customary Easter Vigil Mass led by Cardinal Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York.
But the peace quickly devolved into chaos as demonstrators with Extinction Rebellion NYC's Palestinian Solidarity group swarmed into the church.

Terrorist apologists and enablers. It's time to quit turning the other cheek and start beating the crap out of these imbeciles.

Now if a group of Christians were to interrupt a Ramadan service in a Mosque, I doubt the results would be the same. The Palestinian protesters were only kicked out of the church. Christian protesters would probably have been stabbed, shot, or beheaded by those of the religion of peace. Of course, Christians would never be so disrespectful as to go into a mosque to protest during a service on a holiday.

This is clearly organized. Wonder how many were also involved in antifa and BLM? Rent a mob?

It's your move, Dolan. This is the turf you were appointed to protect and defend.
We've run out of other cheeks to turn. I don't want to hear about "understanding" and "tolerance" and "WWJD".
Are your people supposed to be sacrificial lambs as this temple is desecrated??

Any of the Knights of Columbus at the Mass should have taken off their belts and whipped the protesters out of the church. There is historical precedent.

Not a word from these scum about freeing the hostages safely and for Hamas to stop raping and torturing them.

What do Catholics have to do with Palestine or Israel's behavior? Wouldn't it make more sense to protest a synagogue or Israeli embassy? Gee, my taxes are too high. I think I'll protest an ice cream shop.
Moslems are so stupid.

I have a very visceral reaction to these obnoxious cretins who shove their ideology down our throats at every opportunity. They ruin everything they touch. They’re full of hatred and self righteousness. And Biden wants their votes. Desparately. Nothing will be done.

Noting that people so upset at a response to the Palestinian-Hamas atrocity rarely mention the fact that “they started it”. Not just recently, but long since, and Israel tolerated the outrage for so long. Any fair minded person would agree, the response was and is called for, over due if anything.

This is virtue-signaling gone so wrong...being advocates for a people who's religion instructs them to hate Jews from the moment they're born while simultaneously unable to pick up a history book and see the violent history the Muslims have with the Jews. The 1948–49 war, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, and 2006 wars, ALL started by the muslims, the Munich Olympics in 1972 where the Israeli athletes were kidnapped & murdered....the BILLIONS of US dollars in aid that the Muslims used to build a terror infrastructure of tunnels beneath Gaza.....all those evil UN resolutions condemning Israel but never once the Muslims. So much hate over the possession of some land that equals less than 0.01% of all the total land occupied by Muslims, those poor Gazans who can't leave Gaza because Hamas uses them as human shields in a diabolically evil PR campaign. Its not even the land-its the fact that JEWS EXIST that angers Muslims.

You know the Swiss Guards at the Vatican are not just "Eye Candy". These are highly trained soldiers who are capable of taking down dangerous people.
This should have never happened. Stop with the 9/11 mantra the religion of peace!
Well, the NYPD has to be non-existant.

Their rights to protest end where the parishioners' rights to worship uninterrupted in their own church begin.

It was during the Spanish Mass...
Methinks, they should be snatched up, then reappear in Palestine. Air dropped into Gaza, or perhaps since trespassing in Cathedrals is their thing...Into the Al Aqsa.
Their palistinian Heroes just Looooove it when non muslims drop in an visit the Holy Places.

If Palestine wants a cease fire, then maybe they should quit making terrorist attacks on Israel.

having spent the first 14 yeas of my life as a Roman Catholic, I have no love for the Catholic church but this kind of stuff is over the top and borders on semi-barbarism
