For the Record: Protestants Protest "Whore of Babylon" Basilica Block Party in Minneapolis

Edit: In 2011, lavender pressure groups protested the Basilica Block Party. But even protests from their brothers in arms didn't stop them from selling the Church's patrimony on the street for a few farthings. This year, there are Protestants protesting what they see as an obvious manifestation of the "Whore of Babylon." Protestants don't need much prompting to make unjust accusations, but they're getting a lot of help from evil clergy and the pro-Catholics in their employ. The Basilica Block Party in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA, is an event surrounding the decadent parish of St. Mary's Basilica in downtown Minneapolis. The event has been going on since 1995, so this is the 21st year. There are major Rock acts around it, featuring music with disedifying subject matter. The stated purpose is to raise money for St. Vincent de Paul and to preserve the historic landmark of the Beaux-arts edifice.

The front is partly blocked off with an enormous stage, and a barrier has been built around the foreground to control entrance to the event, which can cost as much as $375. There are corporate logos all over the church grounds, particularly featuring the beer Bud Light which not only supports planned parenthood, but is an avid campaigner for the cause of normalizing aberrosexual deviancy.

They've even cancelled confessions.

There is no Catholic Action opposing this. To our knowledge there has never been any, but a small group of protestants decrying the "Whore of Babylon" were present in protest. Seeing the throngs of Minnesota Catholic womanhood, barely dressed, the front of the church covered with corporate logos, the lineup of depraved musical acts and the dissident and scandalous nature of the parish itself, make it difficult to argue with them.
