Worshipper, church clash
Linda Spice reports in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on efforts by Blessed Sacrament Church, some of its neighbors, and a couple of Milwaukee Aldermen, to get a court order that 75 year old Cecelia Kaczmarski stay away.

Older parishioners are annoyed by her presence and she appears to be dead in the car. ..."

One of those calls came from [Alderman Joe] Dudzik himself.
"She said I should stop looking at her because I was the Antichrist. I've been called worse," Dudzik said.
