Anti-Israeli demonstrators disrupted a Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Armagh, causing a scene during the sacred distribution of Holy Communion.
Around 30 individuals entered the church and interrupted the service, demanding that Christian churches publicly support those who identify as Palestinian and denounce Israel’s actions following the Hamas-led invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023.
The Archdiocese of Armagh condemned the protest, calling it “very disappointing” and “inappropriate,” especially as it disrupted a significant part of the liturgy.
In a statement, the Church emphasized its compassion for the suffering people of Gaza and reiterated its condemnation of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The incident highlights the tensions surrounding the war and its broader impact on global communities, including places of worship.
