Mark Kenny, Janitor at St. Cecelia Cathedral of Omaha NE, far down the power structure from great men like Arbp Paglia, remains my hero.

The Parish Priest, Fr. Gutgsell adorned the Cathedral with Disney mannequins last year. Mary Poppins floating above the Church was too much for Janitor Kenny. He went up with bolt cutters and Mary Poppins was no longer able to "fly". He then proceeded to trash all the mannequins before the police arrived to put a stop to it.

Fr. Gutsgell: "Why did you throw out the displays"?

Mr. Kenny: "Father, this is bull****! We can't have this in the church. This isn't culture, it's Disney crap!". He then went to the Communion rail to wait for police.

Yep!

Remember that story. Mr Kenny is a true and faithful servant of Our Lord. If I remember correctly the church had him arrested and he was fired.

May his reward be great in Heaven! We need some or a group of people like this to pay a visit to Paglia's cathedral..

It probably needs an exorcism too. This is...sorry, I can't post how. I feel. As my late father said: A lady doesn't swear.

That's like saying that after Christ drove out the money changers from the temple that the temple had to be reconsecrated. The violation of the sacred place occurred when there were objects placed inside sacred space that was offensive to Almighty God.

I remember that story. What happened to the heroic janitor? Do you know?

Think I read somewhere the fine was paid for him and he was offered another job very quickly. I do hope it was true.

James • 7 years ago

Good info!

Chloe • 7 years ago

If I'm right!

Here's a link to the local news story: http://www.omaha.com/news/c...

Thank for responding. I was just going to ask if the the offending priest paid the fine for the good man, but Chloe here answered my question. He should have kept such a conscientious man and given him a raise.

MarcAlcan • 7 years ago

I told the priest exactly what I thought of him and told him he will pay dearly for the sacrilege. As expected, he rationalized his evil act. So I blasted him some more.

Mike44R • 7 years ago

Hmmm. I thought Omaha's ordinary was pretty orthodox. Was he informed about this sacriligous escapade?

MarcAlcan • 7 years ago

He was. But he was away at the time. However, they have been doing this for years. So it's not like he did not know about it.

cs • 7 years ago

Good!

Aqua • 7 years ago

Um.

Are you familiar with this?

MarcAlcan • 7 years ago

From memory, I think there are two Fr Gutgesell and one is a homosexual but he is not the one in charge of St Cecilia.

I love what Kenny did. After trashing what should be trashed, he knelt in front of the tabernacle, put his hands behind him and waited for the police.

Margaret • 7 years ago

May St. Cecelia intercede for him!

MarcAlcan • 7 years ago

Yes. I located the priest (pretty easy) and wrote to him. He excused his evil like usual. I think several others wrote to him as well.

A twisted parody of the Catholic Church is being born in front of our very eyes. I could not bring my children into this cathedral because it would mean exposing them to blasphemous pornography. Let me say that again: bringing my children into a Catholic cathedral would expose them to pornography. There are no words to describe this evil.

Ivan mi je ime • 7 years ago

Oh yes, there are words for this evil. This is works of satan and his servants.
But unfortunately, there are still some of the faithful ones who are skeptical about prophecies of st Francis of Assisi and venerable Fulton Sheen.

Zlm • 7 years ago

Oh how I pray that the faithful would look to these prophesies also. I need to quote Pope Urban XIII concerning private revelation

"In cases which concern private revelation, it is better to believe than not believe, for if you believe and it is proven true, you will be happy that you believed, because our Holy Mother asked it. If you believe and it should be proven false, you will receive all the blessings as if it had been true because you believed it to be true."

Margaret • 7 years ago

Thanks for the papal quote! I never heard that before.

Ed of Ct. • 7 years ago

Great timing that Disney beauty and the beast film and Paglia are promoting sodomy under the light of media spotlight at the same time.. I wonder if the priest who had janitor arrested will put up homosexual b b characters in that church now.

Ed Mulrenan • 7 years ago

Sadly Disney is part of a disturbing trend in media TV and film doing this. Last Star trek film ,TV shows like Flash and Super girl turn your stomach by promotion of a Homosexual transgender agenda there as well........ Time to organise a boycott of media network TV and films . Hope this occurs during upcoming Sweeps rating weeks for network TV shows .

winslow • 7 years ago

The Disney Corporation in Burbank, California, is the unofficial headquarters and chief supporter of the homosexual agenda worldwide, and has been for decades. The gradual introduction into its films of homosexual themes and images is nothing new. It has been carefully planned and will continue unless its leaders are stopped.

No Christian should spend a dime on anything Disney sells, especially in its theme parks.

Ivan mi je ime • 7 years ago

And don't forget, agenda of those sodomites and perverts include the pedophilia. Perverts don't wish to know any borders or limits for their sick behavior.

How about a dozen? Homosexuals are knee-jerk liars. They lie all day long. They lie about their affliction, alleging it's a normal condition and sell that to children. Their entire propaganda machine, the most effective in the history of the world, is one vicious lie by which they have captured the courts, legislatures, public schools of governments all over the world. Their activists have destroyed the childhood of millions of children by enticing them into a world of sex and pornography which they are not competent to oppose. Their objective is to destroy all sense of sexual morality in the hope it will erase their knowledge of themselves. Good luck with that.

Grok Hadrian • 7 years ago

Ed Mulrenan • 7 years ago

I stopped watching person of Interest​ a favorite show of mine and even NCIS New Orleans when they promote homosexual agenda there as well.

Ivan mi je ime • 7 years ago

Julia, please don't be naive. B&B movie/story is everything except beautiful. It is the beast who represents satan himself.
What has the beast to do with a human being? With a woman, a creation of God the Almighty who created her to be, as the man is the image of God. Not the beast!

Fr. RP • 7 years ago

This vile image has been in place for a decade and it is just being made public in the sense that it has not been widely reported until now.

As to why it was commissioned, the obvious answers are, well rather obvious. As to why this man would be put in a the position he holds despite things like this (rather than being excommunicated and laicized) is because Pope Francis (and all who are like him in the Hierarchy) is very comfortable cooperating with anyone who is willing to put forth his agenda no matter how repulsive that person happens to be, just as he is well known for ostracizing anyone who doesn't cooperate fully with his agenda no matter how saintly they may be. And what is his agenda? To remake the Church in his own image and likeness for he is his own revelation. He is the Pope and therefore He has God's blessing to do whatever he wills because God chose him to do so...(thus is the reasoning of PF, and he has made that clear in several interviews and reports of his behavior.) Remember the 2nd Synod on the Destruction of the Family, where he declared that everyone should relax because he is the Pope, therefore it's guaranteed to be good?

Evil embraces evil and shuns the good. Thus ends the clarification.

Cornelius • 7 years ago

At one time I wouldn't have believed that someone elevated to the papacy could think that way, could have such a flawed ecclesiology. After all, I'm just a pewsitter and even I understand that no one, not even the Pope, can innovate on what has been revealed. But the Maltese Bishops disabused me of the fantasy that high ranking clergy necessarily have a sound ecclesiology. Many, many do not. Clearly, PF does not.

The SSPX heretic, apostate and schismatic? This is simply not true. You can find good articles from Mr. Ferrara on the Remnant website. Personally I go to a FSSP parish, although I know they have no bishop and wouldn't even exist without the SSPX.

Now, are you saying the gay NO church, where 99% of requests for annulments are granted, that prays along with Protestants and now Muslims, where everyone and his dog gets to heaven, is the Church of Jesus-Christ? Maybe you're just planning to attend the NO while keeping to yourself a huge mental reservation? Getting in line with the others to receive communion in the hand from the woman/ex-nun/wannabe priest/ extraordinary communion minister? Along with the crowd that never goes to confession and is happy to support their gay family member pretended marriage?
There is something wrong going on. It would be helpful if you could stop bashing the SSPX.

I attend the Novus Ordo. I kneel to receive communion and only from an ordained minister. On Sunday i very obviously changed lines to receive from the priest. On Monday, I walked all the way around the Church (we had been in the cry room) to receive from the priest
