Saint Clare of Assisi Catholic Church issued the following announcement on Oct. 26.
POLITICAL SIGNS on the corner of Bell and Cotton are on public right of way and beyond our control. It would be illegal for us to remove signs promoting candidates, measurea and propositions even if they offend our Catholic moral teaching. VIEWERS BEWARE. See Arizona Statutes https://www.azleg.gov/ars/16/01019.htm We have heard from several of our parishioners who are highly offended by some of the signs visible on the corner and wonder why they are there. Do not get the wrong ideas because we did NOT put them there. These are expressions protected by the First Ammendment of the U.S. Constitution. Know your rights and responsibilities. Know your Catholic doctrine.
