URGE PARADE ORGANIZERS:
STOP DISHONORING SAINT PATRICK
The
Catholic Action League of Massachusetts is urging the Allied War
Veterans Council of South Boston---the organizers of Boston's Saint
Patrick's Day/Evacuation Day Parade---to remove the name of Saint
Patrick from the event, as it no longer has any meaningful connection to
the Catholic Religion of the Apostle of Ireland.
Having
succumbed to political pressure orchestrated by Boston Mayor Marty
Walsh and Congressman Stephen Lynch, a suborned minority on the Veterans
Council has callously betrayed everything that the late John J. "Wacko"
Hurley stood for and fought for, and has improvidently discarded his
hard won 9 to 0 victory before the U. S. Supreme Court.
As a result, two neo-pagan
homosexual organizations will become permanent fixtures in a parade
dedicated to the saint who delivered, in a single lifetime, an entire
nation from the darkness of paganism. One group is OUTVETS,
an organization contrived for the sole purpose of imposing itself on a
parade in honor of a Catholic saint. The other group, Boston Pride, is
the organizer of the city's repulsive, pornographic "gay pride" parade.
Permitting
homosexual groups to march destroys the traditional character of the
parade, erases whatever remains of its Catholic identity, and reduces it
to a secularized cultural carnival. It has also driven faithful
Catholics away, including Immaculate Heart of Mary School, whose float
of Saint Patrick blessing the children was, for two decades, the iconic
image of the parade.
OUTVETS
and Boston Pride have no interest in honoring Saint Patrick for
bringing the Catholic Faith to Ireland. For them, Catholicism is
an enemy to be defeated. They are exploiting the name of a Catholic
saint to promote public acceptance of their sexual behavior and
anti-Christian ideology.
It
is impossible to honor Saint Patrick by showcasing those who not only
express pride in rejecting the religion and morality of Saint Patrick,
but who castigate those beliefs as bigotry, hatred, and homophobia.
Please
join us in our on-line petition urging the Veterans Council to stop
dishonoring Saint Patrick and remove his name from the anti-Catholic
spectacle which will occur on March 20th---Palm Sunday!
If
you want to defend the name of this glorious saint, which is being
exploited and trivialized by the enemies of the Faith to legitimize the
mortal sin of sodomy, please forward to us your name, with your city or
town, and we will include it on a petition which we deliver to the
parade organizers.
Since
our religious leaders are silent about this sacrilege against the
principal patron saint of the Archdiocese of Boston, it is up to the
Catholic laity to protect the good name of Saint Patrick!
Thank you.
