On a more general point, it's unfortunate but disabled are at a disadvantage in comparison to "normal" people. Just like I am at a disadvantage in comparison to an athlete, or someone with a high school education will probably be at a disadvantage to someone with a doctorate. People of all types face disadvantages, why should those whose are more extreme be given special rights?

Riiiiight...
So, just like us "normal" folk, they should have to negotiate steps. Who says we need wheelchair ramps? Damn waste of money!
Plus, what's with all these closed caption machines and braille signs? If you're blind and want to be "treated like everyone else", then you deserve no special treatment. I'm sick of seeing those blind people get all the breaks!
And don't get me started on those retards. If they want to be treated like everyone else, then they have to learn to deal with the world like the rest of us! If they don't understand what's happening around them, if strangers and the frentic rush of modern society scares them, if they have trouble relating to others, if they can't read or count or write... well, so what? They should handle it just like us "normal" people.

I didn't accuse you of having little or no human decency. That comment was made before you joined the thread. It was also aimed at posts such as the one above, at those who admitted they were "assholes" and couldn't care less, those who reacted to this event in a backlash against perceived (and so-called) political correctness and those who defended
this particular priest when everyone else involved did not.
And I stated, repeatedly, that a priest should be allowed to ask someone to leave if they feel they are disruptive. Personally I think it's hypocritical, especially if the person is not intentionally doing anything and is there to worship. What's next? Religion only for those that "fit the bill" and "behave"?
Like I said, it has a waft of hypocracy and meanmindedness about it, but that's my personal opinion.
