CHICAGO — Six Iraq war protesters disrupted an Easter Mass on Sunday, shouting and squirting fake blood on themselves and parishioners.

Three men and three women startled the crowd during Cardinal Francis George’s homily, yelling, “Even the Pope calls for peace” as they were removed by guards and ushers.

The group, Catholic Schoolgirls Against the War, said in a statement that they targeted the Holy Name Cathedral on Easter to reach a large audience, including Chicago’s most prominent Catholic citizens and the press, which usually covers the services.
