Catholic churchgoers received a crude disruption during one of their holiest and most somber days of the year.

Someone planted three compact-disc players in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi and set them to play a loud recording of sexually explicit language during the noon Ash Wednesday Mass, Police Capt. Gary Johnson said.

The three CD players were duct-taped to the underside of pews, Johnson said, and all of them began blaring at around 12:22 p.m. as parishioners celebrated Mass.

The recordings were filled with people using foul language and "pornographic messages," said Johnson, who declined to elaborate because the case is under investigation. He said the recordings were made on store-bought blank discs.

Geez, that is soooo disrespectful! I mean, you don't have to agree with someone's beliefs, but to be so cruel about it! They should be ashamed.

I really don't understand what motivates people to do something like this.

I am an Atheist but even I think that's a disgusting thing to do, no matter what you think of religion or religiuos people that doesn't give you the right to commit mindless acts like this.

Here's an update:


SANTA FE, New Mexico (AP) -- Three CD players hidden under a cathedral's pews blared sexually explicit language in the middle of an Ash Wednesday Mass, leading a bomb squad to detonate two of the devices.

Authorities determined the music players were not dangerous and kept the third one to check it for clues, said police Capt. Gary Johnson.

The CD players, duct-taped to the bottoms of the pews, were set to turn on in the middle of noon Mass on Wednesday at the Roman Catholic Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.

The recordings, made on store-bought blank discs, featured people using foul language and "pornographic messages," Johnson said. He would not elaborate because of the ongoing investigation.

Church staff members took the CD players to the basement and called police, who sent the bomb squad, Johnson said.

The bomb squad blew up two players outside and kept the third one to test for fingerprints or DNA and trace its components, he said.

Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, which marks a 40-day period of fasting and penitence before Easter.

In real life, the bomb squad "detonates" plain ol' non-bomb cd players by blowing them up.  (I think the bomb squad just likes to blow things up.)

In the movies, the CD players would have had bombs in them, with timers, and the special agent would cut the right cord at just the last moment.  Then a random car would crash and blow up.
