Let's hope the new pope puts an END to this cr*p straight away.

JPII, for all that he was loved, really let a lot of this stuff get out of control.

Arrrrgggghhhhh, we almost missed this part:

"McNeill said. "The church is saying it only wants closeted gay people going to communion. That's troubling to me as a gay man. I think God would want me to be proud of who she created me to be."

It's not my fault I robbed the bank. God made me a sinner.

The sashes are worn as a symbol of celebration of God-given sexuality, according to Brian McNeill...

Uhhhh ... regardless of one's opinion on homosexuality, this argument makes no logical sense. Do we celebrate God-given schizophrenia? God-given cancer? Or irrelvancies such as God-given plastic? God-given freckles?

I guess the rainbow folks didn't read the story of the rainbow and what happened right after. They need to understand the Curse of Ham.

The only thing the Sodomites understand is pure and unadulterated intolerance.
Just look at where misdirected Tolerance has gotten us over the last 10 years........
Rallies in schools celebrating Sodomites.
Inculcation of K thru 4th grade children in Sodomy Lifestyles.
Severe restriction on Normal people toward "Tolerance" of disease causing behavior through abnormal Lifestyle.
Etc., Etc., Etc.
See what Criminal Homosexual Abuse by Catholic Priests have wrought over the last 50 years, near total destruction of the Catholic Church.

Flynn told McNeill that he had received a directive from the Vatican declaring that wearing the sash during communion is unacceptable.

Thank you, Holy Father, for saying "yes"!

The sashes are worn as a symbol of celebration of God-given sexuality, according to Brian McNeill, an organizer of the alliance, who lives in Minneapolis. He said the sashes also represent an invitation to the church to open dialogue on the issue of human sexuality.

Everything these people need to know about sexuality is written in The Bible. Apparently they have never read it, or choose to ignore those parts.

It amazes me that some want the Church to change its position on homosexuality -- which would require a major edit of The Bible. To me, it means that these people believe The Word of God is not the ultimate authority on morality. If this is the case, then why are they even attending church?

They desire the perversion of society, are the work of Satan himself, and either knowingly or unknowingly act as his minions.

" I think God would want me to be proud of who she created me to be."

She?? ..... SHE ???? We quit our church two years ago when the new female preacher introduced this garbage to the kid's Bible class.

[ For the past four years, supporters of the Rainbow Sash Alliance USA -- a group of Catholics who are active in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community -- have worn the sashes to receive communion at the St. Paul Cathedral on Pentecost Sunday, the anniversary date of the group's founding in 1998. ]

What if they wear the Sash underneath their other clothing.?.

Good for Flynn. It shows how silly the anti-Catholic Catholics have become. Getting communion at a Catholic church while wearing a rainbow sash is like getting communion at a Baptist church with a fifth of Jack Daniels in your hand. Ain't happenin', Captain.
