Catholics Join Protest En Masse
Roman Catholics joined in a massive protest against President Bush's policies in New York City yesterday. It's an interesting read in National Catholic Reporter.
Excerpt:
"The parishioners joined a throng of activists estimated at between 150,000 and 400,000, comprising some 800 groups affiliated with United for Peace and Justice - organizer of the demonstration. They moved from Washington Square and the streets of Chelsea up Seventh Avenue to Madison Square Garden, where this week the Republican National Convention will nominate George Bush to serve a second term as president.
"If these demonstrators had anything to say about it, the script would be different. Their protest was not a rally for 'Kerry for President' so much as a giant public critique of the Bush administration's policies on war, the economy, healthcare, social security, nuclear weapons, trade policy, education, the environment, immigration, labor and human rights."
