Would you believe that a bishop of the Cathedral of Christ the King has been convicted of disturbing the peace, just because he rang his church bells?The bells are a digital recording that were played through four loudspeakers every half-hour. Phoenix Bishop Rick Painter had tried to mollify complaining neighbors by fronting the speakers with noise-dampening foam, and changing the schedule to once an hour.
That wasn’t enough for them, as they continued to file complaints, summoning the police who were forced to file a report.
Bishop Painter was tried and found guilty, and now can only ring the bells for Sunday worship. And you know what? Those who live closest to the bells were not the ones complaining.
It’s just another sign that the Apocalypse is on its way.
