New York church maintains Gay Pride presence, but with blank banner

[davidinalameda]

This year, as for the past 12 years or more, parishioners from St. Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church have marched under their church banner in New York's colorful Gay Pride parade.

But this year, there was a difference.

Their banner was blank, missing the name of the church.

New York's Archbishop Timothy Dolan asked the church's pastor to keep St. Francis' name out of the picture.

1. So by doing this

St Francis made more of a name for itself than if they'd have just allowed the banner to spell it out. :D

2. Their banner should have read:"The name of our church has been censored by Archbishop Timothy Dolan"
