Another,

I never take what the Trib (or Indymedia for that matter) publishes at face value... and if the "Douchebag 6" were so horrified by the war and its crimes, then they should have directed their anger at a military event. There are many things wrong with the Catholic Church (heck, all religions and religions institutions are garbage as far as I am concerned) but protesting the war during an event that had NOTHING to do with the war is plain ridiculous. The "Douchebag 6" picked this specific event because of the zero risk of getting their asses kicked: an event led by a Cardinal with no colon and attended by harmless families, old people and children.

I take it you've never been to Holy Name on Easter Sunday, "Atheist". In case you haven't quite figured this out yet or are new to Chicago, it ain't exactly your local parish church in Pilsen or Logan Square. And yes, the city's elite do pack the pews there on Easter Sunday. Along with enough CPD brass to empty the Dunkin Donuts over on Chicago Ave. So much for the 'low risk' factor. But then their kids aren't dying in Iraq. My sympathy for the attendees discomfort yesterday is directly porportional to their proxmity to the carnage. No sacred cows.

Atheist, what makes you think that this is the only protest these kids have ever taken part in?
