On a farm in central Minnesota you'll find a family devoted to each other and to God, but because one of the children has autism, the family has been told they cannot go to mass.
Carol Race's 13-year-old son, Adam, has autism. In his case, the disorder sometimes causes loud outbursts and violent behavior. Church leaders in Bertha, Minn. obtained a restraining order to ban the Race's from mass.
It was a move the church called a last resort.
Race said she cares for Adam night and day and she takes him to church every Sunday.
However, last Sunday at Saint Joseph Church was different. She got a ticket for going to mass on Mother's Day.
"It's a citation. They want me to appear in court on Monday morning," she said as she showed the ticket.
"That's what really shocks me, that this would come at this time," she remarked, explaining that her son has been making progress in mass -- standing up, kneeling and holding hands with his family.
However, the parish priest recalled "repeated disruptions in church" over the last three years, so he took out a restraining order to keep Adam and his family out.
"Nobody should be subjected to this behavior, but guess what this is reality. Autism is a reality," Race said.
Father Daniel Walz consulted a parish lawyer first before deciding to file for a restraining order on May 9.
In the petition, he wrote that Adam has "struck a child" in mass, that he "spits" and has "urinated" in Church. Furthermore, "it takes up to three adults to restrain him," and sometimes his behavior is so disruptive his parents "bind his feet and his hands."
The parish priest also wrote that "Adam's continued presence on parish grounds not only endangers the parishioners, it is disruptive to the devout celebration of the Eucharist."
Church leaders said they've exhausted all efforts to find a solution. They've suggested the family go to a different mass or sit somewhere else during mass, and they even suggested getting a mediator involved.
The family admits that they do have to restrain Adam sometimes, because he gets overwhelmed in mass, but they insist no one else is in danger.
"My husband, my self ... we'd protect anyone with our life before we'd let our son hurt anyone," Race said.
The restraining order is valid for two years, but it's not going to stop the Race family from going to church.
"We are obligated to go to every Sunday mass and every Holy Day of Obligation, and the Church teaches that it's a sin not to go to Church," she said.
They are such idiots why didn't god step in and take charge it is his church after all or mabey the church leader was told not to let her in blah blah blah sheep are stupid,
