Men offered prayer of reparation for ecumenical service led by female Protestant "priest"
PARIS (ChurchMilitant.com) - Faithful Catholics were forcibly removed and arrested for praying the Rosary in a Catholic church in Paris.
In response to an ecumenical service held in the Parish of Our Lady of White Mantles commemorating the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's posting his 95 theses, where a female Protestant pastor dressed in clerics offered a talk, about a dozen young Catholic men made reparation for what they deemed a sacrilege by praying French and Latin prayers and hymns during the service. After jeers from Catholics and Protestants in attendance, the men were arrested, some carried out of the church.
Caroline Bretones, the "pastor" of the United Protestant Church of the Marais, was invited to speak in the Catholic parish, dressed in clerics and appearing as a female "priest."
Medias-Presse-Info, a French speaking site, posted the video, noting, "The madness being without limit, these young Catholics were evacuated manu militari [with military aid] by the police for having prayed the Rosary in a Catholic church!"
"Young Catholics have expressed their opposition to seeing Protestantism, fought and condemned by the popes and the Council of Trent for centuries, to infiltrate the Catholic Church today," the article continues.
While the organist tried to drown out the men's voices, it was clear many of those in attendance were angered by the men's presence. Some argued with the men and harassed them, one lady even smacking one of them in the face with a piece of paper. They continued kneeling in prayer until police arrived and forcibly removed them.
While much of what is being said is unintelligible owing to the the loud organ music, you can hear them singing Christus Vincit, "Christ Victorious," when police remove them from the church.
