I attended a funeral last week at which one of the family members of the decedent sat with a dog in his lap. I don’t recall whether the owner received Communion, but the dog certainly didn’t!
The media always makes a big deal out of the wacky behaviors of non-Catholics calling themselves Catholic. And this from the same people who insist that Moslem murderers and rapists are not representative of their peace-loving community! Good for the archbishop for chewing them out over it.
