AMERICAN ATHEISTShttp://www.atheists.orgPope Demo Update 4/7/08 In this Update:* Texas demo details* Pope pickets in Washington, DC and NYC, NY. TEXAS DEMO TO SUPPORT PAPAL VISITPROTEST SLATED FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 2008 Pope Benedict XVI isn’t coming to the Lone Star State as part of his U.S. tour, but American Atheists Texas State Director Joe Zamecki will be hosting a demonstration to speak out against the Vatican agenda. He’s posted a great video about this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W5BIMsWm4w . Here’s the skinny from Joe on what’s slated for Austin, Texas: The Pope is coming to America for five days! We’ve got to take this rare opportunity to demonstrate against him and his church while he’s in America. As picket-worthy groups go, this is the big one, the most deserving one. We’re going to have a peaceful picket of a popular and very visible Catholic church here in Austin. The sidewalk is wide and unobstructed, the parking is free, this is in a very high visibility area that’s already been the site of a lot of picketing and other demonstrations over the years. I’ve already checked into the demonstration legalities of that location, and it’s simple. We don’t need a permit to picket peacefully on the sidewalk next to Guadalupe Street. That’s more than enough room. I will make sure that we give plenty of notice to the police, and get their blessing for the whole thing. They’re very demonstration-friendly police here. WHO: Joe Zamecki and other Texas Atheists WHAT: Pope Picket 2008, AustinWHERE: St. Austin’s Catholic Church, 2026 Guadalupe St., Austin TX 78705, on the Drag across the street from UT AustinWHY: To protest the huge number of harmful acts the Catholic Church is currently engaged in, in addition to the state/church violationsWHEN: Sunday, April 20, 2008 starting around 8:30am, and lasting as long as we can handle the bells which ring throughout the day. The objective is to be seen and heard by their congregants as they enter and leave that church. VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W5BIMsWm4w MORE INFO: We can meet up there, since it’s so easy to find, and parking meters in Austin are all free on Sundays.

Mmmmm, Duescher Holy Water, ordained by the Poope! …. okay, I’ll stop cracking jokes about this.
On the big 420 day too, huh!? That just happens to be the Pastafarian’s favorite holiday.
Um, April 20th is a Sunday, not Saturday.
Tarma,
I corrected the listing. It’s on a Sunday.
Why do you protest? What do you protest? Protest someone speaking somewhere? Free-speech?
Andrew;
If I were attending, it would be to protest the brainwashing endorsed by religions, their tax-exempt status (while all along whining for more money from all taxpayers[regardless of their religiosity] in the form of “faith-based initiatives”etc.), and total disregard for the Constitution and the separation of church and state.
