Phelps Inbreds Protest KC Irish Fest Mass

I was heading for the big outdoor Gaelic Mass, at the Kansas City Irish Fest, Sunday morning with my girls, and we saw a small group of protesters picketing outside the gates of the festival. I heard shouting.

“It’s those freaks from Topeka” an Irish Fest volunteer who was walking by us, said.

I stopped in my tracks. My camera was in my purse, but we were running late for Mass.

What to do….

Well, I did the sane thing, the right thing…I kept heading for Mass. I figured I could catch them on my way out.

But, I couldn’t help wondering what their problem was….did they misunderstand the word, Gaelic? Get it? *snicker*

Of course, the Catholic Church has had to endure some scandals in recent years…

This press release, posted at Kansas City Catholic makes it clear.

Dang, but they’re batshit crazy mofos.

After Mass, when we were heading back to our hotel room, they were no where to be seen. They had been asked by Crown Center management to leave the premises.

I had wanted to pose in some pictures with them, giving them the #1 salute, (ala Atlas Shrugs).

A golden opportunity lost.

UPDATE:

Thanks to the Phelps protest, the KC Irish Fest made the news in Ireland.
