UPDATE: Priest Who Criticized LA Dodgers and Drag Nuns Is Facing Cancellation Attempt by Former Parishioner, Who Is an Antifa-Aligned Trans Activist

One week ago we published video from a Catholic Mass at St. Raphael in Bay Village, Ohio, in which one of the priests called out the Los Angeles Dodgers’ plan to honor anti-Catholic drag nun group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (SPI) during their annual Pride Night, characterizing what the group does as an attack on the faith, in his homily, after which a person went to the podium and lashed out at the priest before being peacefully escorted away.

There was nothing violent in the priest’s words or about the way the disruption was handled, but over the last week that priest, Rev. Timothy Gareau, has been the focus of a cancellation attempt seemingly orchestrated by Avery Arden, the former parishioner who interrupted Mass and “challenged the issue,” and who is a vocal and self-described anarchist and law enforcement abolitionist, a member of a domestic violent extremist group (Stop Cop City) in Atlanta, and a “community organizer.”

Within a day of the RedState story the Cleveland Plain Dealer also reported on the incident, but from a completely different standpoint.

*  *  *

The only problem is that the full video of the end of the homily and Arden’s remarks, and an additional statement to RedState from a parishioner who was in attendance, don’t back up the Plain Dealer’s version of events. At approximately 3:17 into this video Father Tim’s homily ends and loud applause can be heard from the congregation. Similarly, after three congregants escort Arden from the pulpit, applause can be heard from the congregation.

That's right in my neck of the woods.  Haven't heard anyone discussing it, but the Plain Dealer ("Pig Squaler" to us locals) is a typically leftist big city rag.  I will say that church look pretty full, which is a nice thing to see nowadays.

Indeed.

Excommunicate the S.O.B. and get a restraining order.
