Robb posts that Louisiana Catholic Churches are banning concealed handguns.

“We don’t think it is appropriate to have guns in churches,” said Danny Loar, executive director of the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Hrm. Methinks someone doesn’t get it and could use a review of Catechism:

Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.

and

2321 The prohibition of murder does not abrogate the right to render an unjust aggressor unable to inflict harm. Legitimate defense is a grave duty for whoever is responsible for the lives of others or the common good.

Note the use of the word duty. By banning law-abiding citizens the ability to defend themselves — because no fighting on sacred ground is only honored in The Highlander — they are denying parishioners their ability to fulfill their God-given duty.
