would be better that those who lead children astray be thrown into the river with a millstone around their neck.

Are all those priests who lead those children astray with the acts committed upon them ALLOWED TO RECEIVE?

Ananias and Sapphria were struck dead for their sin.

You are talking about 'under the law'. One man was killed because he picked up sticks on the Sabbath!

The law was implemented to show we are ALL sinners - a fact this priest forgets.

Scripturallly, God views some sins as more severe, even to label some as unforgiveable

Tell me what 'sin' is NOT covered by His Blood ?

I don't know about right now, but it was too often the case that they were transferred to unsuspecting parishes and allowed to carry on the their priestly duties including celebrating the mass and ironically hearing confession, and unfortunately also carrying on their unpriestly duties of buggering boys.

I would defer to someone more knowledgeable, but I'm pretty sure the homosexual pedophile priests are ineligible to receive or distribute Communion, just as you or I would be ineligible to receive it. Didn't stop them, but if they're going to bugger people, I don't think desecrating the Eucharist is a big deal to them.

Gross oversimplification here, but if I smack you in the face, that's a sin, but it's not as bad a sin as murdering you in cold blood. Both are sins, and Christ died for all of them, but the former will not necessarily make you ineligible for receiving the Eucharist.

BTW, there's a better word than "ineligible," but I don't know what it is.

As is the case with any mortal sin, you must first repent, obtain absolution before presenting yourself at the Lord's table.

Under what law, I'm talking about Acts 5:1-11.

a fact this priest forgets.

Prove it.

Again I point you to the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgivness, but is guilty of an eternal sin.' [Mk. 3:29; Mt. 12:32; Lk. 12:10]
