Catholic diocese bars mass at events center

MESA, Ariz. The Catholic Diocese of Phoenix has barred a mass at a private events center that was recently rented out for a Planned Parenthood event.

Nevertheless, the Corona Ranch and Rodeo Grounds in south Phoenix will go forward with its annual Our Lady of Guadalupe vigil and celebration. But it says it will do so without holding the planned mass.

The Reverend David Sanfilippo calls Planned Parenthood "one of the largest abortion providers in the nation." He said it would be inappropriate for a Catholic Mass to take place at the same location it used.

The general manager of the rodeo grounds says the November 18th Planned Parenthood event had nothing to do with abortion. He said he was about educating the Hispanic community on pregnancy issues.

Good going. HT Dom Bettinelli
