How I wish these people would just join the church of McGreevey, already. Leave us alone!

Is that Cleveland?
I think I see my sister in the backround.

Maroons.

This just makes me want to cry.

Glancing carelessly at the headline I thought they were on their way to bedevil the Pentecostals.

[Frank Sheed]

I’m dashed! You are joking, I pray? If not, that is so very sad!

I want to see the video if that happens!

ROTFL you might want to rephrase that!

[Tax-chick]

I’m assuming the Pentecostals would pray over the homosexuals, with extremely entertaining results.

If the Catholic Church really wanted to make this a fun event, they could have Charismatic Renewal prayer teams available to pray for anyone who put on a rainbow sash. (In fact, I think I’ll wear my red Pentecost dress and Official Charismatic Hat on Pentecost, just in case ...)

Ah, I was having a dreadful morning, but I’ll be smiling about the possibilities all afternoon ...

"For some reason," says Murray, "Church officials have chosen to go against their own teaching, that individual conscience is paramount in guiding the individual to spirituality. These ill-advised bishops cannot possibly know our hearts when they deny us communion. They actually turn the Holy Eucharist into a weapon of division and exclusion."

Yeah, what a shock! You advertise to the whole world that you're in a state of mortal sin and before you know it, the Bishop won't give you Communion. Unbelievable.

We're all Catholics, aren't we? The only signs of division are coming from you.

Why wear a symbol which indicates that you're different from most other Catholics? Why wear a label which tells people you practice sodomy? Maybe we should devise a labeling scheme for all Mass goers and just carve up the Church. Adulterers and fornicators shall wear green ribbons. Drunkards and wife beaters shall wear yellow. Thieves and fraudsters will wear pink.

Of course, if we made it obligatory for the gays to wear a ribbon, there would be merry hell to pay. There'd be shouts of "Nazi Germany", amongst others. But since it suits their self-serving purpose and helps their faux martyrdom cause, it's OK.

Hypocrites.

**Complains Murray, “These ill-advised bishops cannot possibly know our hearts when they deny us communion.” **

But when they wear the sash/ribbon, it is a statement of their heart. The Bishops DO know!

What’s the color for “FReeps too much and drinks cheap wine”?

The more I look at it the more accurate it appears to be.

My money would be on the Pentecostals.

[pjr12345]

Isn’t “Rainbow Sash” one of the characters of the “My Little Pony” kid merchandising endeavor?

[Tax-chick]

That’s “Rainbow Dash.”

It's hard to go wrong betting on the Holy Spirit. But oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth ...

[livius]

Depressing looking bunch of earnest liberals. The one behind the flake in the red sweater looks like Nancy Pelosi, another “good Catholic.”
