10 am mass at Most Holy Redeemer Parish October 7th, 2008.
you'll see at about 1:36, a man comes up to one of the sisters and says "thank you for being here". i've watched that particular spot 3 times and since i can read lips...i know that's what he's saying. iteresting, no?
and the website that you see in the video is apparently these people. here is their "morality" page with an apology from the Archbishop for his mistake in giving them eucharist.
here is a list that *they* say MHR parish should do to "transform" the culture of the castro:
Morality
Most Holy Redeember (MHR) Parish in San Francisco
We at Quamdiu Domine welcome and applaud Archbishop Niederauer's apology for the events of October 7 (text below). While it is clear that more work must be done to restore a true sense of Catholic identity to the parish of Most Holy Redeemer, this is a step in the right direction.
Here is an outline of other steps that we feel should be taken to reclaim the identity of Most Holy Redeemer, and re-orient the parish from a Gay parish that undermines the teaching of the Church to a Catholic parish that reinforces the teachings of the Faith to a population struggling with the cross of homosexual temptation.
1. Introduce the parish to Catholic programs such as Courage, which present the Church's true teaching on sexual matters.
2. End the participation of the parish in gay events such as the Gay Pride Parade and the Castro Street Fair.
3. End the hosting of events at Ellard Hall for groups that actively defy the Catholic Church's stance on homosexual acts.
These are ways that Most Holy Redeemer can and should transform the culture of the Castro area, instead of facilitating it.
