Deny these children unto me and it wold be better to have a limestone hung around your neck and thrown into the sea

I was pretty shocked to read this story today. And then I started thinking about how the Chaunson family would fare through a 2hr catholic mass.

The story is about a church that issued a restraining order against a family who was bringing their autistic child to Sunday mass.

The comments are pretty interesting too. I guess I'm disappointed in the Church. It seems like an institution that claims to be founded on the principles of Jesus would be able to tackle this problem. Admittedly, both parties seem a little crazy.

I've always loved it when babies cry in church. It kinda reminds me of what church is really supposed to be about. And I look at all the people making faces, being annoyed that a baby is inconveniencing their service, and it makes me feel better than them.

So what do you think? Is the church just exercising their private property rights? or are they heretics in the Christian faith?
