"Where those who hate the Church go to church"

Bill Cork reports (in his blog, Ut Unum Sint) on this story in the Daily Standard about John Kerry's perish in Boston, the Paulist Center. Cork quips, this is "Where those who hate
the Church go to church." Besides boasting what may be the most night-marish crucifix in existence, the Paulist Center exists to serve, in its own telling words, "those persons searching for a spiritual home who have been alienated from the Catholic Church." This, as the article notes, "explains why John Kerry feels so comfortable at the Paulist Center. His fellow parishioners aren't gritting their teeth and looking away while he fights for abortion and defies the Catholic Church. They're cheering him on." The director of the Paulist Center, appropriately, it seems, has been invited to give the invocation at the Democratic Convention in Boston, since Boston Archbishop O'Malley won't offer his blessing. (Gratias tibi, Benjamin, for the tip.)
