This article sparked my interest because it explains that the Dean of St. Paul’s cathedral in London has resigned his position only a few days after the church’s Canon’s resignation. The question now that many people are asking is what really is the Occupy movement accomplishing? The movement is not targeted at the church, but the area in front of the church is the only place that had enough room for them to camp out because the London Stock exchange building is across the street. Many supporters of the Occupy movement are starting to lose faith in it, questioning whether it is doing more harm than good because it is affecting the church, and men of God, not the financial crooks it seeks to influence. The occupation of the square in front of the church caused the cathedral to close its doors to the public for the first time since the last world war and has never been forced to close its doors during a time of peace. Is this really what the protestors want? What message is that sending? Will they lose supporters and respect for these results? Is it going against what the movement itself stands for?
