| Annunciation - Lucinda Naylo |
Archbishop Nienstedt is serious about opposing this non-sense and explaining the Catholic Faith. There's not much more to the story than what is cited below, but it is interesting that the "artist" who's been adorning the downtown Basilica with her creations for years has compared herself to Galileo.From The Eponymous Flower
[Minneapolis, Star Tribune] Lucinda Naylor, a Minneapolis artist and part-time church employee, was suspended from her job over a protest sculpture using antigay marriage DVDs distributed by the Catholic church.Read further at Minneapolis Star and Tribune...
The Catholic church began to mail the DVDs to 400,000 Catholics in Minnesota last week. They argue for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in the state.
According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Rev. John Bauer, pastor of the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis, made the decision to suspend Naylor, a 15-year employee
Local News Article from KMSP and Video:[KMSP] Archbishop John Nienstedt announced Monday that every Catholic in the state will be mailed a DVD defending marriage as between one man and one woman, as he hopes to "rally the troops" around the Church's position on the divisive issue just six weeks before Election Day.With special thanks to the Knights of Columbus who helped make this all possible... although they were earlier justifiably accused of sending mixed messages this year by failing to oust Pro-Abortion and Pro-Homosexual politicians. Will this make it more difficult for such men to associate themselves with the Knights of Columbus? We hope so.
Nienstedt appears at the beginning of the eight-minute video, which was prepared by the Knights of Columbus, and will be mailed to the state's Catholics on Wednesday, paid for by a large donation, the archbishop told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Monday evening. The archdiocesan website lists the state's Catholic population at "approximately 800,000."
"Our target is basically our Catholic people," Archbishop Nienstedt said in an interview. "To remind them of what we believe and why we believe it and why it's so important that they believe it."
Course, goes without saying that this place has a booth at a "Gay Pride" event.

God bless the good Archbishop of St.Paul/Mpsl and the rector of St. Mary Basilica for this very courageous and needed action.
Musicians and artists (I'm afraid...being in this "pack" most of my life...yikes!) are a horrid lot...
can be a real bunch of moral morons, miscreants and perverts...
does it surprise anyone? I mean, really?
We need a "renaissance" of Catholic, I mean Catholic artists, musicians and theologians...
pray, will y'all?? We need this so very much!
Outragious! How dare that big, bad, old, repressive Church suspend this innocent little artist over her protest based on an obviously well-formed conscience. They should have given her a raise for knocking some sense into her part-time employers head, using its own insidious DVDs to boot. I bet the enlightened ones of the gay-rights movement would never do that! (Have I been sarcastic enough or is somebody out their actually thinking I'm serious?)
Oops! I meant somebody out "there"! Wouldn't want anybody thinking I'm a bad grammerian. Bad proofreader is ok though! :)
Yes, yes, by all means anti gay propaganda to ALL, especially when you can hide them (priests) behind the walls of the rectory. They have to hide in our local parks to solicit the sexual acts they crave. And this is the Christian church I want to bring myself and my family. Keep Father Mike Krenik away from my children!!!!
Father Krenik resigned, and nobody hid him behind rectory walls. If he is guilty, he will not be a minister any more.
