The paper deemed the indictments over the top.
But it also condemned the protesters for their tactics and their sentiments.
Bergin agreed with the Inquirer. His post has elicited a wide variety of responses. Here's what I wrote:
Hurrah for the Inquirer! When will Christians realize that the only people Jesus ever scoldingly upbraided were the religious folks who knowingly violated God's holiness, not unbelievers or marginal believers?
The people who fell into these latter categories were shown kindness, patience, and understanding by Jesus. Even fiery Paul understood that it is the kindness of God that leads people to repent (turn from sin) and receive new life through Christ.
The indictment of the Christian demonstrators was over the top.
But the un-Christian tactics of the demonstrators were also wrong. Their aim shouldn't have been condemnation, but evangelization.
