No ... the Cathedral does not need to be reconsecrated; they were not served communion.

Okay ... the stories are now beginning to break. This is from this morning's Mass at the Cathedral in St. Paul, Minnesota.

This is such a sad thing to see. Thankful they were denied communion and thankful this is not something we have to deal with in my parish. I pray that these people will learn why they were denied and make some life changes. I fear they are lost!
