I wonder if they are holding off announcing the ruling - which is decided and written, ladies and gentlemen, it is not as if they doing that this weekend - because of the predicted reaction to their decision and the fact a long holiday weekend stretches before us. Mormons and Catholics don't tear up the joint at bad news . . . but radicalized homosexuals are likely to do so. And no one likes having to call in extra police reinforcements and having to pay them overtime.
Thanks, Justin, for your email alert.
Update: see, this is what I mean . . . found this after posting this.
There will be a meeting from 7-9 p.m. on the evening before Decision Day to talk about civil disobedience, in the event that the Supreme Court upholds Prop 8. It will be at a to-be-disclosed location South of Market.
I hope everything is kept peaceful, but if Prop 8 is upheld, my guess is that some small cadre will start a riot, or at least try. I think Catholic and Mormon churches had best be ready for vandalism if Prop 8 is upheld. Actually, even in celebration, if I were the Mormon bishop at the temple in Los Angeles, I would consider having extra security around the building.

The governing official of a Temple is a president. You are right about additional security. If I had a parish down there, I would be sitting out front with a 12 gauge.
Pfftttttttttt -
Digi-YOUR priest carries ????
DammitWomann, you haven't had the pleasure of making Fr. Erik's acquaintance yet?
Dammit Woman,
John Moneypenny, my priest, doesn't carry. But I do and if I thought he was in any sort of danger, both my husband and I would be at the rectory, guns drawn. He's my friend and I love him to bits. However, if I threw him my spare, he'd have no toruble, I think, locking and loading, being on familiar terms with Herr Glock.
Erik Richtsteig, on the other hand, is a priest who can hold his own, given the arsenal he has stowed at his parish in Utah. He may fancy dresses more than pants (he likes the traditional cassock), but he's got a pair and would defend his church well.
Isn't Catholicism a blast? Truly, DW, you oughta come down for Mass sometime . . .
Digi-- I wear BOTH cassocks and pants.
In the heat of a Utah summer . . . why?
There will be rioting, if the Court upholds Prop. 8
Yuck. I clicked on the link and they're so angry. I think they believe the guilt will immediately dissipate if they can be "married."
