Thanks for the reply. I imagine just the fact that somebody would come into a Church... any Church and make a scene or a fuss... would simply preclude that person from Communion anyway.

Why, do you suppose these women come to your Church?? Has it happened since the Priest has had to make such announcements?

I really don't know why they came to the parish. Roman Catholics come for all sorts of reasons, mostly curiosity to see what we do in the Liturgy I suspect. Protestants and Episcopalians usually have read up on the early Church and come to see what it looks like. Its frankly rather surprising to me how many of them never leave. No one, save a Greek who paraded into church with his pregnant girlfriend has been turned away since the announcements started. You should have seen the scene that day with the Greek and his family, but they've gotten over it. :)
