Priest's Stand Sparks Church Clash | Albuquerque News

A priest in Albuquerque sparked a violent confrontation after supporting a proposed Islamic mosque, leading to a social media feud and a physical altercation when a woman filming on the church marquee was asked to leave. Her boyfriend arrived armed, allegedly threatening staff and brandishing a gun — prompting pepper spray and a 911 call. The man later admitted to carrying the weapon for protection after prior threats to his girlfriend’s home. He now faces aggravated assault charges, while the priest regrets the public fallout that began with his decision to name her on the marquee.
