“If media reports are accurate, then we would have concerns. We are investigating and looking to speak with the pastor of the parish to get more information,” the spokesperson said.
CNA reached out to the archdiocese and the pastor of the church, Father Rick Walsh, for comment on Tuesday but did not receive a response before publication.
Parishioners have been divided on the exhibit. The New York Post reported that an “irate” parishioner said “enough is enough.”
“It seems like they are trying to force the agenda on others,” the parishioner said. “Also, when a friend asked a priest about this they didn’t answer. You can’t put this out on the altar and then hide.”
“That’s what gets the church in trouble,” the parishioner said.
However, Cherri Gosh, 80, who supports the exhibit, told the New York Post that she loves the church because it is “very liberal.”
