If the congregation walked out, I would think there is a deeper problem within the church.
I doubt the priest wanted the people there to begin with. It reminds me of the commercial of the United Church of Christ commercial. People were so upset about that commercial, but it's true. I go to church regularly and I definitely see it going on. It goes on anywhere you look and normally you can just avoid it. But, having a priest with that attitude would definitely make the situation a little more sticky.
On a side note, I've seen people in my college leapfrog people in wheelchairs to get on the elevator rather than taking the stairs. Recent my family took a trip to Disney World, I saw a guy in a wheelchair get pushed over by a crowd headed to fantasmic. And also people in line talk about how lucky the guy in the wheelchair(missing a leg) was because he got to the front of the line in space mountain. People definitely can amaze you and I agree that handicapped people often get treated very poorly.
