Quote: Darknight613 said: To sum it up, since a couple of you don't like reading through "long" articles - this isn't a case of gays being denied Communion. This is a case of people who support gay rights but who aren't gay being denied Communion.
Maybe it's not for me to say this, since I'm not Catholic, but this goes WAY over the line, in my book.
I can at least understand the rationale behind denying gays Communion, although in no way do I agree. But to deny it to people who support gay rights? To me, this is unacceptable.
I need to know the full context here before making a full judgement myself. Communion is something you cannot recieve in mortal sin, if those parishners were fixin' to recieve Christ whilst supporting a homosexual allowance for marriage and having sex, then I can appreciate the priest's feelings. If, however, these were to signify acceptance of people rather than their typical practices, then the priest was definitely wrong.
