Good luck with this one.
The official City policy is to allow this behavior on church days, but only in specific church areas.
(see http://www.churchparkingforatheists.com/ )
But the unofficial policy is basically not to ticket any cars in any bike lanes on Sundays.
If you don't feel like dishing out your own personal U-lock justice, you can at least report the bastards here: http://philly.mybikelane.com/ Who knows if it will do any good, but it might make you feel better.

Ever since I moved here over three decades ago, it has been a 'common courtesy' by the police (and now the parking authority) to not ticket cars on sundays in such areas where there are churches within a short distance (i have no idea how this is judged) - in c.c. there are any number of blocks with a church (i.e. a place of christian worship, overwhelmingly the most numerous houses of worship, the common religion in the area) no further than a block or two away.
Perhaps this explains it. Whether to rail about it is another matter.

Nice links, ambiguator. I was wondering what to do with my useless old U-lock. Hope they pass out Bic pens in church.
(Just kidding, I'm not going to)
