Last night I participated in an awesome prayerful protest in reparation for the blatantly and unapologetically sacriligious and blasphemous play, THE POPE AND THE WITCH, currently underway at the tax-payer funded University of Minnesota.

The average age was late twenties among the 100+ who were there praying the rosary and singing beautiful Catholic hymns, giving witness to the truth and beauty of our Catholic faith!  We were led by a large group of seminarians from St. John Vianney seminary in St. Paul, MN, with a handful of them only wearing cassock & surplus as the bitterly cold winds made our sacrificial offering all the more powerful!

I thought I would post some information about this anti-Catholic outrage at the UofM so that you can be aware of the garbage that's out there and what I'm up against in the theater world.  Also, please make your voices heard and let University officials, newspapers and Legislators know that this sort of anti-Catholic bigotry is unacceptable.

A wonderful Catholic analysis of the script, "The Pope & the Witch"
