At St. Jude's Cathedral in St. Petersburg Florida at approximately 11:30 A.M. this Sunday morning (1/20/08) 3 pro-life Catholic interns were peacefully putting pro-life voting material on car windshields of parishioners (names: Joseph Landry, Francisco Gonzalez, and Steve Pokorny) This is completely legal, and happens across the nation at churches during election cycles.
The practice only becomes a problem when an authorized person from the church demands that the leafleting cease, and orders the leafleters to leave the parking lot.
A Priest from the Cathedral, Father Gregg Tottle, Rector, summoned the police, and between Masses came out with the Police present to demand that his fellow Catholics cease distributing the pro-life fliers. He threatened to have them arrested if they continued. Fr. Tottle told Mr. Landry that he knew they were distributing pro-life material. This makes his actions all the more deplorable.
Today's leafleting is part of a larger agenda of exposing the pro-abortion agenda of various Presidential Candidates, including Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
