Pro-Palestine Protesters Disrupt Easter Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC

Three protesters disrupted Easter Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York with "free Palestine" chants before being hauled away by police. The protesters, associated with Extinction Rebellion NYC’s Palestinian Solidarity group, were charged with disruption of religious service. The disruption occurred following a pro-Palestinian march in Times Square, and some attendees felt the demonstration lacked respect for the church. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a call for prayer and peace in the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war.
