Forgive Us Our Trespass - Speak Truth to Power
Liberty Square
This is a public witness to remind all land-rich religious institutions that their faith calls their loyalty to those among God's people who are at the losing end of economic disparity, not to the powerful 1% or to their own self-interest. Chris Hedges and Fr. Daniel Berrigan will speak in relation to the upcoming jury trial of Bishop George Packard and others. Occupy Catholics will hold a planning meeting for further pre-trial actions after this action.

Forgive Us Our Trespass - Praying Truth to Power
Duarte Square, Canal Street and 6th Avenue
Vesper service the night before the jury trial of Bishop George Packard and others. We ask Rev. Cooper and Trinity Church to listen to the Gospel mandate of forgiveness, to drop all charges against those who trespassed on the lot at 6th and Canal, and reconsider use of the empty lot.

Why have you all left the rest of us by the way side? I'm 54 and believed in what you were doing, but you have gone off for your own benefit. I agree about the college fees and things, but we have to fight and get the money out first together. Your losing people who were with you.
putting an image of a man nailed to a cross into children's minds is CHILD ABUSE. Telling children their mothers and fathers are sinners is GROOMING. telling children "jesus is the only way" is BULLYING into submission to the pastor. telling children "jesus died for your sins" is MENTAL ABUSE. we must protect our community from these predatory crucifixion merchant money sharks.
