“My son was with me. Priest spoke of a man giving confession & spoke of sexual thoughts he had. He then used my son as an example to explain why I would get mad.
….Basically I asked about my anger/other emotions towards bad forces (satan).
He used an example of sex to explain what Satan does(…he Satan will introduce sex into your mind) so that person would get mad at Satan.
–Then immediately after he spoke of the example of Sex he said ‘just like your son if anyone hurt him you would be mad.'”
Priest’s side of the story:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
I am writing to provide some context for the upsetting situation which occurred at the 11:00am Mass on Sunday involving Mr. (name redacted). As you may have already heard, (name redacted) entered the sanctuary of the church during the Eucharistic prayer and approached me. He was apprehended and arrested.
First, I wish to ask for your prayers for (name redacted) as we are concerned for his wellbeing.
The events leading up to this unfortunate incident began last month. After an initial pastoral appointment with Mr. (name redacted), his behavior has worsened and become less predictable. He has engaged in a course of abusive and threatening conduct, directed not just at me but towards the parish and school staff. Under the circumstances, the parish and school had no other choice but to obtain a “No Trespass” order from the Lakewood Police Department against (name redacted). He chose to disregard this order when he appeared at Mass yesterday.
The safety of the children, parishioners and staff are our top priority. The parish and school are working closely with the Lakewood Police department, the Lakewood City Attorney and private security to maintain extra safety precautions.
We are aware of some videos being posted and shared on social media which I ask you to refrain from circulating out of concern for the privacy of all involved.
Please join me in praying for all who were involved in or witnessed this incident and be assured of my prayers for all of you.
Your servant in Christ,
Fr Paul Brunet
Pastor- St Frances Cabrini Parish
We can not operate on false information generated by media outlets to spur reaction.
We must operate based on research and validation of what is true and what is not.
Understand the Context before concluding. NOTHING ABOUT MASKS, PERIOD.
Thanks for the context. This clearly isn't about a mask and Priest's claim makes sense, the man's doesn't. Priest says 'You are in trespass. You need to leave this church right now." Looks like the man was trying to intimidate and after storming the altar like that?!? Those parishioners did the right thing.
Maybe the priest was just pissed there were no kids to sexually abuse. So he took it out on the lone smart person in the congregation. This was a Catholic Church after all.
This is why I hate organized religion. It's all brainwashing for control. The churches have been corrupt probably since their inception. The only thing required for a relationship with the creator is yourself and knowledge that the creator exists.
Religion, especially Christianity and Islam, is the biggest scam in human history. It's all about the balance of fear and control over the ditch diggers.
Why would the priest would ban a man from attending a mass because he is not masked?
And why did he send 100 people to attack him like there is no security for these kinds of situations!
This is for those who said our freedom and religion are not under attack, they are by brainwashing our people into a masked cult that will destroy the foundation of the western culture!
Doesn't look like he was tossed for being maskless, but for walking across the sanctuary towards the priest in the middle of Mass

Yup. Also the claim he was chocked is not corroborated by the video.
Sounds like a setup to me.
A maskless person walks across the sanctuary toward the priest in the middle of mass? When does THAT ever happen?
Probably another FBI FF to make conservative religious people appear violent.
Maybe the priest was just pissed there were no kids to sexually abuse. So he took it out on the lone smart person in the congregation. This was a Catholic Church after all.
That whole congregation isn't going to go where they think they'll go in the afterlife.

Satan and the deepstate smile at what they have created.
