I wonder if all that Christian empathy bestowed upon the protesting masses will be eroded now the capitalist $$$s have stopped flooding in to the cathedral's rapidly emptying coffers?

That's a little unfair - out cathedrals are among our most treasured historical monuments as well as important places of worship. If the upkeep of the monument and the provision of worship space are both under threat, I don't see what's wrong with the Dean asking the protesters to show the cathedral some of the same understanding that the protesters themselves have so far received.
