Fights broke out during the annual Feast of the Assumption pilgrimage in Carey Sunday afternoon at the Our Lady of Consolation Shrine.

The religious event is supposed to bring thousands of people together to honor the Virgin Mary, which falls on every Aug. 15.

The annual event was interuppted after a group, known as the “Minister of Annoyance,” told the numerous Catholics in attendance to not believe in God and disown their faith.

It sparked a fight between the group and a few teenagers. Carey police were called and arrested three teens and one adult.

Police tell ONN affiliate WNWO that over the past two years street preachers have shown up to The Feast challenging those in attendance. Sunday, instead of staying in one place, the street preachers dispersed into the crowd and aruguments took place between 300-400 people.

The faithful chased the street preachers out of town says Rev. John Raphael, pastor of The Shrine.

“They show up with video cameras, send threatening faxes, and are there to cause problems,” Rev. Raphael tells WNWO. "I instruct my staff and those faithful who show up to ignore them.

“They go to other places and do the same thing. I tell my staff to pray for them.”

The Feast of the Assumption vigil still carried on after the brief dispute. This is the 130th year for the pilgrimage to the Our Lady of Consolation Shrine.

Axolotl, Thanks for the information. I got my information early this morning on wtvg news out of Toledo. I believe yours is a little more accurate than theirs. It’s still very unsettleing to me. We have been to Shrine at Carey numerous times. It is a beautiful place.
 
Our parish had some trouble with the local Baptist church when they were encouraging their members to leave anti-Catholic material on the cars parked for Mass on Sunday mornings. Our pastor called the Baptist minister, told him he didn’t appreciate these attempts at proselyzation and asked him to tell his people to stop doing it. It stopped at once.

I think the priest of this shrine ought to find out what church these interrupters are from, call their minister and ask him to leave the shrine alone. And if the minister refuses, the priest should tell him that the next time he will hold the minister personally responsible and will give his name to the police as the instigator of these incidents. That might put the real fear of God into these stupid people.
 
A Navy Chaplain friend of mine told me that there have been several times where he has opened the tabernacle up and found Jack Chick tracts inside.
 
These envagelists are very sure to remove us members, what a pity!

As in a locked Tabernacle?
If I found someone breaking into a Tabernacle… Well I believe in peaceful actions, but I don’t think I could control myself then http://www.xerocreative.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/bash.gif

The tabernacle was locked but the Protestant Chaplains and the RPs know where the key is kept.

I can’t imagine any Protestant doing that, but Fundies and zealous Evangelicals, yes.
