As far as I know from what I read in the newspaper, there was no protest of any kind at Liz Taylor's funeral.
Again, as far as I know, the protest from the Westboro church turned out to be a non-event.
In my viewpoint, the "clergy" of the Westboro church belong in the same category as the kook who murdered a doctor inside of his own church because the doctor performed abortions - and the kook thought he was doing a public service by killing the doctor so more lives would not be taken.
The jury did not go for that excuse and the kook is now in prison for 1st degree murder.

I am not trying to get people riled up. Or, maybe I am.
The Westboro non event did get people riled up. The much more serious and ongoing problem of clergy abuse went unnoticed.
As to off topic, I was on topic but will admit to a bit of segueing. Same as you did above, Tbugs, when you segued to the doctor killed in his church by a "kook". I wouldn't think of admonishing you for that bit of segueing. That was a serious event and I am delighted the jury did not take his defense seriously. Oh dear, I am off topic again. Or am I segueing the segue? I love that word, haven't had an opportunity to use it for some time.
