On Friday the protests in London under the name 'Occupy' led St Paul's Cathedral to close.
I presume the protesters are happy because it would appear that the church were not as focused on the fact that their flock would not be able to worship there but more that they were losing money. Apparently the takings from the various sources within - including the 'donation' for entry - average at nearly 23,000 pounds per day!
This has uncovers an aspect of the church that it would rather was kept hidden, it's capitalist element.
Why as the protesters ask has it closed now, because any 'risks' were no different on previous days? Surely it must be because the loss of revenue is hitting it hard and if it closes there will be less outlay. They clearly don't worry about their flock! But then they can worship their IMF elsewhere.
