Hamas attack Israel & subsequent genocide

Who thought this was a good idea? The Mass is sacred to many people and not a place for protests. And I'm saying that as someone who attends rallies and events in support of Palestine and doesn't go to Mass! Could have protested at the Cardinals residence rather than this...

As a regular Mass goer at St Patrick's Cathedral, I'd be confident in saying that the vast majority of those attending that Mass, would have a great deal of sympathy for the plight of the Palestinian People and the grievous injustices they are suffering.

I would also say that there is a lot of anger locally about what happened on Sunday morning, and the real impact of the protest was simply to undermine the support that many people have for the cause. I am at a loss to understand the rationale for this, or who thought this would be a good idea.   

Absolutely.

Was a massive own goal. I'd be very surprised if there's a repeat anywhere. I hope not.

Oh, I dunno. Maybe the almost complete silence about the genocide from the leader of the Church had something to do with it. No doubt he doesn't want to be labelled anti-Semitic by the Zionist mass murderers and have uncomfortable truths about the Vatican's 'rat line' to spirit Nazi war criminals away after WWII brought up. The 'founder' of Christianity must be spinning in his tomb at how his 'chosen' representative on Earth has conducted himself over the last year as Palestinian children are slaughtered on an industrial scale.

Ok, so there was a rationale. Let me therefore rephrase.

I am at a loss to explain the method chosen for highlighting the issue on Church silence, given that it impacted on those who would support the Palestinian cause, and in turn could only serve to undermine that support.

The church has failed on many issues down the years not least its own congregation. However Mass to those who attend is sacred and not a place for placards and protest. This got no traction from Palestine support groups on social media as it is obviously the wrong place. Why not the Cardinals place of residence?
I don't think church protest will undermine support for Palestine though.. that is too great an issue and injustice. Hopefully is no more of this type of protest.

The only way this ends is if America really stars shifting more (enough) munitions to other parts of the world to continue the death and destruction, keeping the profits up and the shareholders happy
