As Pope Francis explains in Amoris Laetitia, "The Eucharist demands that we be members of the one body of the Church. Those who approach the Body and Blood of Christ may not wound that same Body by creating scandalous distinctions and divisions among its members."

Yet in the same Amoris Laetitia, Francis opens Holy Communion to unrepentant, public adulterers.

the old dyke went just to initiate a response, not because it wanted to receive Holy Communion, it got what it wanted...

now go away

Well, separation of church and state. Right, you old hag of a “judge”?

[PGR88]

Communion has no meaning for most people - as do other sacraments, particularly marriage.

They think its a like a gold star you get in Kindergarten, an affirmation of that fact that you merely showed up.

Why doesn’t the Lesbian judge go to a Mosque and ask for their “blessing” or whatever they give?

This is our diocese. We have a good bishop and some good priests and many in formation. The judge is well known as a no nonsense tough judge. She can't really think she can change church policy or have a pastor removed just because she has been a parishioner for a long time and a donor too. Arrogant. Too bad she just can't bang her gavel and change this. /s
Stupid for her to call in the press, now every other priest in the diocese will know about it and where the bishop stands. Hoping all the other parishes abide by this. Also hoping others will get an education.

You'd think this would go without saying.

The judge:

He seems to have an identity crisis.

An Obama judge, no doubt.
