CWN Editor's Note: The Archdiocese of Armagh, Ireland has issued a statement criticizing protesters who marched down the aisle of the city’s cathedral during Mass with signs expressing support for the Palestinian cause.
While expressing sympathy for the people of Gaza, the archdiocesan statement said that it was it was “very disappointing that a group of protesters chose to disrupt the celebration of Mass.”
“Disrupting the sacred liturgy in any way is upsetting and an inappropriate form of protest,” the archdiocese said. The statement went on to note that Archbishop Eamon Martin has voiced support for the people of Gaza, called for a ceasefire, and called for an investigation of possible Israeli war crimes in the conflict.

I blame the atheist school system, secular media, and government policies for allowing such widespread ignorance of the natural law. The natural law is not the sole captive of any given religion; it applies to the religious, the irreligious, and the agnostic. Although many ignore or even detest it, it does exist and is binding on all people. Assaults against it need to be codified, forbidden, and met with appropriate punishments. Christians, especially, must live by the precepts of this law.
