Feminists storm Mass in Vienna

On International Women's Day group of feminist activists stormed a Mass in the adjacent church to Our Lady of Victories in Vienna Rudolfsheim-Fuenfhaus. The church is, according to the activists, known for their involvement with the organization HLI (Human Life International) an association of abortion opponents.

Costumed women ran into the well-filled church around 11:13 , standing before the altar and shouting "You're evil!" and handed out flyers to the church community.

"Authoritarian Institutions"

According to a release of the activists, the action was directed "against the church which is a fundamentally patriarchal, authoritarian institution, based on exclusively male elites and based on exclusions and denyinjg women any right to self-determination ." The flyers attacked "the church's positions" attacked, for example: "Contempt for women. Compulsive norms of sexuality, homophobia, racism, anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial." The activists said in their flyer text explicitly each individual worshiper automatically shared these positions through participation in the Mass.

Umm... interesting. Imagine what would have happened if a bunch of them had stormed a Mosque...

Maybe there'd have been different results.

These femenists are getting rather bold.

Here in the Diocese of Rochester NY we have a Catholic feminist and WOC member, Sr. Joan Sobala, in charge of a church named Our Lady of Victory.
