Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported on Tuesday that Phillips led a rally in an attempt to disrupt Mass at DC’s Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception last Saturday.
It happened a day after Phillips confronted students from Covington Catholic High School that launched a viral video, which led to a bunch of problems.
From CNA:
The group of 20 demonstrators was stopped by shrine security as it tried to enter the church during its 5:15 pm Vigil Mass, according to a shrine security guard on duty during the Mass.“It was really upsetting,” the guard told CNA.“There were about twenty people trying to get in, we had to lock the doors and everything.”The guard said the incident was a disappointment during a busy and joyful weekend for the shrine.“We had hundreds and hundreds of people from all over the country come here to celebrate life, to celebrate each other together. That a protest tried to come inside during Mass was really the worst.”The guard told CNA the situation was “tense.”“I’m just really grateful that nothing too bad happened, they were really angry.”
