(10/8/09) Symbols of Islam, Confucianism, Buddhism and Hinduism intended for Catholic Mass
A University of Detroit Mercy student might face expulsion and hate crime charges for allegedly stealing non-Catholic religious symbols intended for use at the institution’s opening Mass on September 24, The Varsity News reports. Sr. Angela Hibbard, IHM, the liturgy coordinator for the “Celebrate Spirit” liturgy, first noticed that the medallions representing Islam, Confucianism, Buddhism and Hinduism were missing from Gesu Church. The medallions representing Christianity and Judaism were still in place. The student who is possibly facing hate crime charges was identified by Sr. Hibbard, who “recalled that a student had previously objected to the other medallions and had threatened to protest what he believed was religious relativism and the worshiping of false gods.” Source: The Varsity News
