Archbp Vigneron on 4th of July: Freedom of Religion a Great Pearl to be Protected

Te Deum file photo: Archbishop Vigneron leading  the Helpers of God's Precious Infants Mass & Prayer Vigil in 2009


In the Detroit Free Press article, "For 4th of July, ring out freedom to celebrate values", several leaders were asked for a brief statement.  Detroit's Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron was among those offering a brief statement.  In it, he said:

“Freedom of religion is the most fundamental form of human freedom, as it concerns our most fundamental relationship: our relationship with God, our creator. Freedom of religion allows every person both to worship God and to live according to God’s law, without fear of interference or persecution. We know that a deep desire for this particular freedom drew many of our forbearers to this country, and the responsibility to protect this great pearl of our democracy is one each generation is called to take up anew.”


— Archbishop of Detroit Allen Vigneron

Young flag-bearing biker gets an escort to school....

In order to understand the second video, you have to see what prompted the parade. If you are already familiar with the story of the kid who was harassed by school officials to remove the American flag from his bike, then go to video 2.



Utterly, ridiculous when a kid cannot display the American flag on his bike.  Freedom?  How about suppression.  Reminds me of the kinds of things I experienced when I lived in the former Yugoslavia during the early 80's.  This is America!

Veil-tip on this one below to Creative Minotiry Report.  Unfortunately, this only covers the ride out.  Does anyone know if there is video footage of the ride into school?




Here's a news cast. Apparently, the school superintendent reversed the order, allowing Cody to have the flag on his bike on the way to school. There was a lawsuit filed, but not by the kid. Watch the newscast.
