"Community Action for Rainbow Rights, a Sydney-based campaign group, had planned to protest through Sydney to St Mary’s on Thursday, the day of Pell’s requiem mass, to denounce his strident and long-held opposition to same-sex marriage and LGBTQ+ rights …

"NSW police are seeking an order in the NSW supreme court to prevent them from marching outside the cathedral …

"The Guardian also revealed earlier this month that another form of protest – the tying of ribbons in commemoration of abuse victims – was also being blocked outside of St Mary’s."

"Coloured ribbons have been placed outside St Mary’s in recent days by campaigners who want to give voice to abuse victims and survivors ahead of Pell’s mass and burial on 2 February.

"They have been tied along entire sections of the cathedral’s fence, pictures and video on social media showed.

"But the ribbons are being periodically removed …

"Loud Fences, the group which first advocated placing ribbons at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Ballarat, described the removals at St Mary’s as the “same old business” from the church. It said the church was protecting its brand at the expense of abuse victims …

"The ribbon-tying campaign in Sydney was amplified by a series of tweets by Simon Hunt, the satirist sometimes known as @PaulinePantsdown, who encouraged locals to emulate the actions of residents in Ballarat."
