Daniel Poirier and Jack Murphy look at mementos from their wedding day. The Meteghan Centre couple are devout Catholics, but their church refuses to allow them to receive communion after they announced their same-sex marriage in the media. (brian medel / Yarmouth Bureau)

Devout Catholics? Perhaps only for selected teachings ... how do they reconcile that? And think about all those past trips to the confessional booth ... were they devout and honest back then too?

I bet they were SO surprised when the church that they totally flipped-off with their behavior then reciprocated.

Devout Catholics? Really? Perhaps in their own minds but not in my Catholic church! Congratulations to the Archbishop!

FINALLY the Church is coming down enforcing the policies we live by...The Pope said not to long ago that he was going to start going back to the roots of our beliefs and now I think it is happening...

All of us were born sinners. No sin is greater than any other. If you repent and go to confession, you can receive the Eucharist.
The key here is repent. If one continues to live the life of sin, then you are not worthy. Whether it's cursing or sodomizing, it's all the same in the Eyes of God.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it Mr. Murphy.

A bit like Madonna taking communion on stage. Only the stage is smaller.

A Roman Catholic couple say theyre being driven from the church over the archbishops opposition to their same-sex union.
Let's play "How many errors can you find in this sentence."

This is a fine example of how if, for whatever reason and with whatever cause, you walk out of the revealed truth, you gradually lose the ability to reason.
They ARE still Catholics, they're excommunicated Catholics and, at the kindest, Catholics in very grave doctrinal error and moral and spiritual peril.
But they want to give themselves the appellation of Catholic without the humility of obedience that we lay folks sometimes have to show.
How they fail to understand the problem and to make the choice -- they COULD say,"We repudiate the Catholic Church and its detestable enormities," but they just say, "We don't believe what the Church says we should believe or do (or avoid doing) what the Church says we should do (or eschew), but we're still faithful sons of the Church."
"I love my mother. I have contempt for what she thinks, and I do the things she asks me not to do and don't do the things she asks me to do." O-o-o-KAY!
You can be a moron without being an oxymoron.

Just so mean and.....and.....awful!!!

They look like grandfather and grandson together. I love the "all about me " vibe of the article. Its all about them. Its like in the secular world you break the law you pay the penalty and go to jail.
To these two I say get over it!
To: NYer
In other words, "we reserve the right to call ourselves Catholics and force the Church to change her teachings to suit ourselves". That is not freedom of religion -- that is tyranny of the dissenter.
To: NYer
Well, I a friend who left the Catholic church after getting remarried because the Catholic church doesn't recognize her marriage either. So, it's not exactly a matter of discrimination, it simply a matter of theological definition.
