Miserere Mei

On October 10, 2003, the Red Mass was held at St. Matthew’s Cathedral (Roman Catholic) on Rhode Island Avenue. U.S. Supreme Court justices attended, as well as other government leaders. Ten Commandments supporters were present, both in the service, and on the sidewalks in front of the church. The supporters held signs of the Ten Commandments to remind the Supreme Court justices of the Law of God and to encourage them to hear Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore’s appeal of his Ten Commandments monument case.
