A Roman Catholic priest denied communion to more than 100 parishioners Sunday, saying they could not receive the sacrament because they wore rainbow-colored sashes to church to show support for gay Catholics.

I'm glad to hear the Church is finally casting out the principalities that have worked their way in. They tend to defile the innocent at heart and don't belong in a church.

"As a Catholic, I just need to stand in solidarity with those that are being oppressed," she said.

"'Elp! 'elp! I'm bein' opressed!" (Yeah...I know it's actually "repressed...but you get the point)

[StonyBurk]

To a Reprobate mind --Any abomination can be twisted to be called a "gift of God. "Claiming it is -does not make it so. AM suprised the sisters -and others who want the Catholic church to embrace the world and be reconiled to it have not yet insisted their apostate politicians force
the church to give Communion to any unworthy that demands it.

Yes, indeed, these Rainbow bashers are "oppressed!" They are forced and constrained by penalty of torture and death to remain in the Catholic Church!

These self-pampering fools are among the most well-paid, high living people in this country where they are heralded as champions of alternative rectal sexual practices (mostly very dangerous), and where they denounce anyone who disagrees with them as a bigot and hater. Thay are coddled, petted, nursed by the mainstream media and every chump liberal who feels the itch to nurture a new victim class.

So they interrupt a church service on one its holiest days to make a point on just what consummate, narcissitic boors and louts they are. Let them try doing that in a mosque! They cannot wear their rainbow colors there either.

EXACTLY.

Their sexual orientation "is a gift from God just as much as my gift of being a female is," she said.

Maybe, but not the God of Abraham, my dear. Theirs is the one wearing red in all the pictures.
God has eliminated homosexuals over and over again throughout history. AIDs is no accident. Understand? Read your Bible.

Organizer Brian McNeill wrote to Flynn last month, explaining that the sashes are a symbol "to celebrate the gift of our lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender sexuality."

LOL. Satan said "Bow down and worship me, and all this lust can be yours."
They said "OK."

"If you're going to be a Catholic, either live with it or call yourself something different," he said. "They're trying to change something that has been taught by the church for 2,000 years."

Because they want to destroy what you have to make it "fair."

[skinkinthegrass]

But the church is a private institution that has postions on moral issues. They can deny their support to those who oppose the church's teachings.

Ahh, Yes...Let see how much THEY support the "Gay/Lesbian/Trans-gender/NAMBLA/Aberrant" lifestyles/Oppression...then let them PAY for Priest Sex Scandals..."it called, "put your $$$$, where your mouth is." "

[rikkir]

Go back and read the subsequent stories about that "extreme preacher".
Seems that entire episode was initiated by actions similar to this.
Some members of his church did not like him preaching about moral absolutes, and when they could not stop him, they turned it into the leftist, anti-Christian, BS that you heard from the media.
To be a Conservative in America today, you can not believe anything that comes from the MSM.

"But Sunday's service was the first time they had been denied communion at the altar."

Why do these people always want to put their lips where they don't belong?

That's what the Church got for showing "tolerance" toward these people.
I'm afraid they've learned the hard way. Now, it's time to heal the wounds and not make that mistake again. They're doing what has to be done, and God bless them for it.

Parishioner Larry Pavlicek was not sympathetic. As a divorced man, he said he has to live with the church's teaching that he cannot remarry and cannot have sex outside of marriage.

"If you're going to be a Catholic, either live with it or call yourself something different," he said. "They're trying to change something that has been taught by the church for 2,000 years."

I'm not a Catholic, but I applaud this man. He understands that it is about the Church's teaching, not about him.

[pollywog]

I'm Protestant and I applaud the priest taking a stand against this church takeover plot.

Me TOO!!

This nun should get a letter from Pope Benedict new week it should say she is excommunicated.

[chadwimc]

Too bad they haven't taken such a strong stand against child molesters...

That would be great, but let's face it. Ted Kennedy and John F'in Kerry are still going to Communion.

"Too bad they haven't taken such a strong stand against child molesters..."

Actually, they ARE, the molesters and enablers/recruiters are just wearing different hats at the moment....

[sgtbono2002]

Thats true but they arent claiming to be married to God.

The fact that this woman belongs to a convent multiplies her jeopardy in my opinion.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

If they want to be gay and religious, they can start their own church. Heretics no longer get burned at the stake.

What a bunch of drama queens.
