The deceased pervert was a satanist.  They were all of satan.

The diocese should be pressed to sue the organizers for fraud, hate crime, etc.    it was an anti Catholic hate crime. 

If the pastor doesn’t do anything, then he knew about it. 

We all are, Lad, we all are. Anyone who hasn't already, you know which page of the hand missal to find a fitting Litany. Can't find it, then say a Decade. I use the Third Sorrowful Mystery in these situations.

This is not just about Genesis 19. This is bigger, about targeted blasphemy and a direct insult to Our Lord, Our Blessed Mother, and several of the Saints (if not all of them categorically). The filthy scuм purposely targeted this cathedral for its fame and visibility and location. The day before, they'd already had a "wake" at some protty venue in another borough. The deceased pig wanted this event at St. Pat's specifically for its eye-catching fabulousness. The family and friends said so publicly.

Never mind NOM or Dolan or the Maryknoll guy who grinned and joked like an idiot from the podium. Never mind second-guessing why the administrators didn't eject the whole lot of them out to the curb. Here Miseremini is right: then what, a huge riot of trannies in their stiletto heels, plus their shameless fellow travelers, a bunch of cops fired later for being too mean to the "ladies", midtown office workers and tourists gawking and laughing at the whole scene, the wokester City Council acting up in retribution, and so on. Stonewall 2.0, plus spitting on what normies assume to be the Church as the ribbon on top.

A grinning game of I-dare-ya is what it was. Satan gets provocation points to add to what's going on already in Ireland, Germany, Rome, and wherever Jimmy-boy is stinking up the place at the moment.

No, it would never have been allowed at a proper chapel but then again, there's a lot less demonic bang-for-the-buck (or return-on-investment, or multiplier effect, for the numerically minded) if it had somehow happened that way.

I hate to say it, but I feel so unattached to the Novus Ordo that I just see this stuff and ignore it because I know the NO Church is already an abomination to God who is allowing this to show that this is not the Catholic Church to begin with.

St. Patrick’s had security guards who were Catholic, many were active or retire NYPD or FDNY. 

and the entire premises deconsecrated. 

Yes, I remember this very well and felt pride (of the right sort) in how Catholics reacted.  Now, the very idea that such bizarre looking and acting people were even permitted beyond the front doors is shocking.  I used to go three to four days per week to 5:30 weekday Mass followed by Rosary, Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and sometimes other devotions in the Lady Chapel.  The Mass was novus ordo, but was reverent, said by one of two elderly priests with a religious brother for altar server.  The priest gave Holy Communion, no ladies or lay people. Both would give Communion kneeling, on the tongue, no problem, and that’s how most people received Our Lord.  The one priest also gave a short catechism on the Saint of the day. 
St. Patrick’s had security guards who were Catholic, many were active or retire NYPD or FDNY.  There were signs inside the lobby reminding visitors it was a house of worship, and visitors should conduct themselves properly.  Those who violated these rules would be asked to leave.  Security enforced it.  People who were loud, permitted children to run amok, disobeyed the guards/ushers, took pictures in the Lady Chapel, talked or had bare midriffs, bare chests, backs, see through clothing, breast or butt cleavage showing, undergarments on display, etc. WERE asked to remain in the entryway.  If they did enter the church, they were requested to leave, politely but firmly.  Every now and then, someone would be escorted physically out of the Cathedral. 
There was a very small gift shop in the far corner of the entryway which was closed during Mass.  The atmosphere was one of reverence despite the Cathedral being open to tourists as a National Landmark.  Now, I’ve heard it’s been turned into a huge flea market inside the doors, with noisy vending machines of commemorative coins, allows everyone and anyone to enter, wander around, be noisy, etc. 
And now the Cathedral officials are trying to say they had no idea the deceased person was a well known transgender activist and self-declared witch?  Shame on Cardinal Dolan!  IMO, the Cathedral needs to be exorcised of demons, the schlock sales floor removed, and the entire premises deconsecrated. 

It reminds me when Jesus got mad and chased out those money changers.
