ONLINE UPDATE: Mass at cathedral disrupted by recorded porn (updated at 11:20 a.m.)

SANTA FE — The noon Ash Wednesday Mass at the Roman Catholic Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi was disrupted when three CD players duct-taped to the bottom of pews began blaring sexually explicit language.

The players were set to turn on at 12:22 p.m. as parishioners were in the middle of Mass, police Capt. Gary Johnson said.

The recordings were filled with people using foul language and "pornographic messages," Johnson said. He would not elaborate because of the ongoing investigation.

The bomb squad blew up two of the players on a grassy area near the church, then kept the third one for analysis after determining the players were not dangerous.

snip....

"We'll run the full gamut" of tests on the player, including checking for fingerprints or DNA and tracing its components, he said.

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, which marks a 40-day period of fasting before Easter. Clergy mark the foreheads of the faithful with ashes to symbolize penance during Ash Wednesday services.

1. Of course it was pranksters & not terrorists, but I hope they find them
and punish them appropriately. As much as I detest the actions of the fundies of all stripes, it is very wrong to mock & degrade their religious ceremonies in THEIR place of worship!

2. Exactly what law was broken? Much ado about nothing, IMO. nt

3. BLEW UP the tape players?
Criminy! That's a bit of overkill, no? That is, unless you think the terra-ists are all foul-mouthed heathens, intent on bombaring you with four-letter words before killing you.

Hmm...sounds a bit too Monty Pythonish. "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!...Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!"

4. We had a thread on it the day it 'broke' as news. However, some people did not
like our humorous comments on the 'over reaction' of the bomb squad, which blew up 2 of the CD players after they were examined.
