Because I've lived in the Archdiocese of San Francisco, I've been hearing about the SPI for a long time. The Church took a conciliatory attitude towards them, and they've gotten bolder. Their presence and their mockery at a baseball event is painful. The statement from +Gomez is strong, and I don't think the Catholics' group confrontation is prudent. However, I wish Catholic response could meet in the middle. Take the Mass out of the Cathedral and bring it closer to the Stadium. The SPI is a serious affront specifically to Catholicism that is condoned in the public square. Our faithful response should also be public.

I'm very proud of the USCCB in this regard. I hadn't paid enough attention to this situation to realize this blasphemous event was taking place on the actual Feast day, and it was our nation's bishops conference that enlightened me. I've shared their prayer request with as many people as I can (and salted it with a challenge to concurrent fasting). May God convert these sinners, and all sinners - most especially me! - to His Son's Sacred Heart!
