Priest Told to Stay Away From Politician’s Home
The Archdiocese of Boston has ordered a priest to stop demonstrations outside the home of the state Senate president, protests the priest said were necessary because of the politician’s support of embryonic stem cell research.
Father Thomas DiLorenzo and some parishioners spent several days demonstrating outside Sen. Robert E. Travaglini’s duplex, singing hymns and displaying signs with slogans such as “Stop Playing God.”
DiLorenzo said he was told to stay away after he wrote Travaglini a letter that mentioned one of the Democrat’s children.
