Protests by parishioners of St. Henry’s and Our Lady of Good Council (OLGC) churches is the latest chapter in a history of tension between Catholic church members and bishops of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. The conflicts have challenged the bishops’ authority on race, abortion, voting and property ownership in a city historically known for its strong Catholic faith.
The latest tension arose in 2008 when Archbishop Alfred Hughes ordered the closing of the 350-to-400 member St. Henry’s and OLGC congregations and for merging them into a new church parish.
After months of pleading and unsuccessful objecting, the parishioners began a weeks-long vigil in the two churches where their families had worshipped for generations. With counsel and encouragement from leaders of the four-year vigil in six Massachusetts churches, they vowed to occupy the buildings until the merger plans were dropped or ruled illegal.
