The people who wore rainbow sashes to the Cathedral of St. Paul on Sunday were denied Communion. The archbishop, Harry Flynn, following the instructions of his superiors in America and in Rome, made it clear that the wearing of the sashes was a protest against doctrinal teaching and therefore Communion would be denied and that, furthermore, Communion was not the time to stage a protest.
And what were the sashes if not a protest? Of course it was a protest. The people who wore the sashes could have received Communion by not wearing the sashes. Or they could shop around and find another religion to join, or possibly another church. I guess a couple of churches in Minneapolis looked the other way on the sashes.
Now, maybe not surprisingly, this was a big story around the world. Yes, around the world. You could have read this story in the Billings, Mont., Gazette or in a newspaper in New Zealand. It made all the Web sites. It occurred to me that the implication clearly intended was that the Catholic Church had some kind of nerve refusing Communion to the people who wore sashes to church.

Were they wearing anything else, or just sashes...?
Clothes, and sashes, thank God. Why do gays always have to be "in your face?"
Because they want you to accept their immorality as normal so they will not feel guilt and shame in their own heart.
In the 1990s, Act-up stormed a New York Church during Mass and threw the Holy Communion to the ground, stepping on it.
To this day, nobody did any jail time.
The in your face homofascists make me sick to my stomach, they get away with everything their snotty little spoiled butts want.
On another thread it was pointed out that the rainbow was God's promise he would not flood the earth again as punishment for wickedness.
"Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."
"The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart."
"The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
