But since the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops refuses to make allowances for the parishioners that carry concealed, and their churches are “conveniently” attached/annexed to schools I shall not be attending mass anytime soon.
When I attend services at my Church, I pray my skills with my pepper spray or 9mm won't be tested. It's a Catholic Church.
Jesus Christ admonished His Apostles to acquire a sword just prior to His Trial and Crucifixion.
Many Catholic churches around here have started “guardian” program, where LTC holders can volunteer for security duty. Your check may have them in the congregation already. Also, I’ve noticed that none of the Churches I’ve attended have no carry signage any longer. They may put an announcement in there bulletin but it doesn’t post the statute.
