I wonder how much this will affect the Sunday collection
Just a month ago, a man with apparent mental problems, went by Divine Mercy church in Mesquite and wanted to kill a priest as I understand, he left and I hear he was arrested. Don't think it was in the newspaper. I don't like criminal Safe Zones
When you say "recently" was this before or after December 31? If it was December 31 or earlier, and the 30.06 sign had the new wording. it would have been invalid and you could have carried, I believe.SRO1911 wrote:Not a statistically significant sample, but I was compelled to visit 2 Catholic churches in San Antonio recently, both were 30.06/30.07.
New signs, very valid, every entrance that I was able to check.
First one I had to return to the truck - shame. I seldom wear a suit, but when I do it fits much better with my galco vhs underneath...since it was bespoke wearing it.
Second was non issue since was going directly from the church to Ft. Sam Houston Cemetery - federal property.

Another winning post!
To all my Catholic friends, you are welcome to worship with my wife and me at my Baptist church until you can find a diocese which accepts your guns. Only one thing...... we are posted 30.07, but the church is very friendly to concealed carry.dru wrote:Also catholic in the Austin diocese. If they pull this stunt here I'm either going somewhere else or I'll just stop going at all. This is stupid crap to put up with. that being said, the Dallas Diocese is definitely going full retard on this issue. Here is their policy on this issue: https://www.cathdal.org/news-item?r=MJ9 ... end_to=%2F
For an institution that claims to be loving, accepting, and welcoming of all walks of life, they certainly got deep intot he legal mumbo jumbo.
The Ft. Worth Diocese is following a similar path to Dallas and are also being unbelievably short sighted on this http://www.fwdioc.org/diocesan-weapons- ... 1-7-16.pdf
The Tyler diocese seems to have their heads on a little straighter. They've merely asked that people don't open carry but seem to be okay with concealed carry.

For anyone who follows Fr. Z's blog, he has a good write-up here about whether a catholic bishop, may, as a function of his office, prohibit people from conceal carrying at mass or if its strictly a legal issue (hint: he concludes that a bishop does not have this authority) http://wdtprs.com/blog/2016/01/ask-fath ... -is-legal/
