Pope supposed to allow disruptive ill kids in Mass

Are you serious? This is a local affair if a child who is disruptive to the point of danger is in any public gathering, church or not.

Some people have too much time on their hands to try to attack the Pope and the institution rather than actually doing their jobs in mental health.

It is very cynical to use the holy Sacrifice of the Mass to grandstand your personal causes, like autism.

Pope Benedict XVI has been urged to act on autism after Adam Race, a 13 year old boy with severe autism was banned from the Roman Catholic Church of St.Joseph in Bertha, Minnesota by his priest Fr.Daniel Walz. According to court documents, Fr. Daniel Walz took out a temporary restraining order on the boy with autism and his mother Carol Race on the grounds of disruptive behaviour.' They were threatened with arrest by the Sheriff of Todd County if they entered the church for Mass.

Campaigners are now calling on the Vatican to provide guidelines to all Roman Catholic Churches around the world on how the clergy and church authorities should react to children and adults with autism and Asperger's syndrome.

How about not using your child's mental condition and suffering? What do you think a child who is in pain and disruptive is "getting" from the Mass anyway?

I'd not expect the church to provide pain meds for post operative patients to be wheeled into Mass from the hospital every Sunday either.

Grow up.
