Witnesses said that a group of mutants assaulted a squad of Sentinel Soldiers, one mutant shattered all the glass in the cathedral, including the historic stained glass windows.
This decision has caused various reactions among the religious and the mutant communities. Several churches have followed the lead of St. Patrick's and refused membership to mutants, other churches have began advertising themselves as mutant-friendly. This decision has also sparked debate over the status of mutants in the church, namely are the "human" and thus possess a soul that is capable of being saved or redeemed? The Vatican has planned to discuss this question within the month.
