An interfaith prayer service at the Detroit cathedral was interrupted this weekend when a group of Roman Catholic traditionalists held a load demonstration and stalked out of the service when a rabbi began speaking. The demonstrators, who said they were members of the Catholic Traditionalist Movement, walked out of the cathedral when Rabbi Richard Hertz began speaking.
During the demonstration, a brief tussle took place between the church ushers and the demonstrators. A pew was overturned, but no one was hurt. Some 700 Catholics, Protestants and Jews participated in the service.
