As the US bishops celebrated Mass at St. Peter Claver Church, an
African-American parish in West Baltimore, a protestor walked into the
sanctuary, kissed the altar, and held up a banner that said, “Stop
persecuting gays,” according to observers.Blogger Rocco Palmo identified the protestor as Roy Bourgeois, a onetime Maryknoll priest who was excommunicated and subsequently laicized.
