Young Catholics arrested in RC church for praying rosary!

[J_Peterson]

Did they celebrate mass? I think you are looking to cause scandal where there is none.

These young people were rude, they were removed for disrupting an event - as they should have been. If they wish to express their distaste they could have staged a demonstration outside on the public street.

Yes. they can always hold their own event at an appropriate time or demonstrate outside the church and express their opinion in a non-disruptive and proper manner. Would it not be a mortal sin to disrupt an official event taking place inside a church? It also sets a bad precedent for those wanting to protest other events or sermons taking place in the church.

a mortal sin?

People who are rude and disruptive in officially sanctioned church events are going against the cardinal virtue of prudence. In addition, these people were rude, disorderly, troublemaking, disobedient, rebellious, imprudent, insubordinate, out of line, and set a bad example and a bad precedent. It shows that they have been badly educated, badly cultivated, poorly brought up with bad manners, and lacking in civilized conduct.
Prudent people who are better educated know that there is a proper way of responding to a church event with which you disagree.

ok

but a mortal sin?

we’ll agree to disagree; i applaud their actions.

am i guilty of a mortal sin also?

It is a question of how serious an offense this is. Do you regard prudence as one of the Cardinal virtues? Suppose a person disagrees with something being said in a sermon at Mass. I can think of several cases. For example, i recently attended a sermon where the priest said that Jesus always had love and sympathy for outcasts. And that is why we all must have great sympathy, compassion and love for the lesbian, bisexual, transgender, homosexual and gay people in society. He didn’t mention anything about having some compassion for those mothers and fathers struggling to bring up decent, well behaved and well educated children with good manners and solid Christian beliefs. Nothing at all. He only went on about how we have to love our lesbian, transgender, homosexual and gay neighbors, just like Jesus loved all outcasts. I just sat through the sermon. Now, if I were to take a cue from you, should I have been rude and jumped up and started loudly saying the rosary in the middle of his sermon? Should I disupt the service and now loudly say that I am now saying a rosary for all those mothers and fathers who are struggling against the many bad influences that their children are facing today?

no he was an ordained priests celebrating mass.

this wasn’t a mass as i understand it.

we have to agree to disagree. the sect in question is so far to the left. (lesbian woman priest and they recognize ssm).

Maybe it should be protested. I don’t have all the details. But I disagree with protesting inside the church during the event. I think it is better to protest in such a way so that you are not disrupting the event. As I already said, it is setting a bad precedent and a bad example.
Anyway if you are against SSM, you should protest those Catholic colleges which are supporting it. There is a Catholic college which sends out a magazine from time to time updating what is happening at the college and with the alumni. There are a few pages where they congratulate alumni who just got married. Well there are colorful photos and congratulatory messages for Catholic alumni who just had a SS marriage. This is what is going on today.
