Prayer for Peace

This week on the Mess we helped celebrate with the rest of the Pagan community our uniqueness and diversity throughout the world. February 27th was the Prayer for Peace Vigil in many cities across the nation and around the globe. This vigil was a peaceful demonstration in response to the Catholic Truth Society's little pamphlet called Wicca and Witchcraft: Understanding the Dangers. A pamphlet aimed at teaching the Catholic community how to prosthelytise to and covert Wiccans and Witches to the Catholic faith.

The following is the play list from the Mess.

Other than the direct shots across the bow with Maria's Not a Catholic Anymore and Go Away Godboy, we feel that our music choices for the show were peaceful and understanding towards the Catholic community and we hope that no individual Catholic was personally offended by any of the music.

Please refer to last week's blog on the Mess for more information and listen to Selections from the Mess #3 on the Pagan-Musings Podcast Channel for an indepth discussion of the issue.

Our thanks and support go out to all who participated, in anyway, in the vigils. We greatly appreciate your sincerity of heart and spirit on this issue and wish you all the best!
