BurkeFan Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 This has started circulating around the blogosphere, and happened on Friday night to a group of seminarians from Kenrick Glennon Seminary (St. Louis). I was invited to go along (since I'm friends with a few of the guys, and may end up at Kenrick Glennon), but I had already committed to aid Students for Bush and the RNC by being a signholder in Spin Alley. This is a very brief summary, but they had done their preparations: they had tickets to the event, information from ACLU and other sources supporting their right to be there, etc. just in case they ran into trouble. They made sure they had no illegal objects on their persons or with them. The Kerry staff and partisans harrassed, threatened, and insulted them -- one woman called them (among many things) "pedophile hookers" while she tore up their signs. I know that Democrats haven't always been lovingly welcomed to Bush rallies, but the treatment of these seminarians was pretty bad, especially by the supporters of a candidate who claims to be Catholic and for that to be a huge influence on his life.

Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Some friends of mine, seminarians all, had an interesting experience at a Michael Moore speech, too...
toledo_jesus Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 God Bless our brave seminarians. Hope for the future.

Duc_In_Altum Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 (edited) Yea, i know those guys too. They are an amazing witness to the new generation of the holy priesthood. I cant say enough about em. Their silence and prayer dripped a bomb on evil's house. This really brings hope to my heart. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!! -Joe ps- st. michael the archangel, defend us in battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him. We humbly pray. And to thou oh prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

daugher-of-Mary Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 God bless our seminarians!!! The author of the blog that Micah linked posted the contact info for Mr. Singer--the rep for the Kerry campaign who answers complaints. We all need to write to the guy about the intolerant treatment of the seminarians and Catholic lay folks at the rally.

MrsFrozen Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Wow. I agree, God bless out brave seminarians. What's the world coming to?
Lil Red Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 that is so beautiful!!! God bless those men!!!!
Spiritual_Arsonist Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 I dont think I could bear it if Kerry gets elected. He seems like a wolf in sheep's clothing. I dont think Bush is a stellar man, but I think Kerry would do harm. The best thing the church can do is give witness. The faithful and hierarchy must give witness.

traichuoi Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 i also liked how the seminarians described Kerry campaign and supporters as tolerant...funny how people think it's a virtue.
