>>If a homosexual is not having sex, can they receive the sacraments?<<

If ANYONE who is unmarried is having sex, that person may not receive the Holy Eucharist. If he/she goes to confession with a humble and contrite heart, he/she is forgiven.

Even homosexuals are welcome, no matter what the MSM says. But the sin of homosexual sex is actually no worse than unmarried heterosexual sex. Both are sins.

I think the problem comes in because homosexual activists want to insist that what they are doing is not wrong or sinful.

Generally, unmarried folks who are sleeping around know that they are doing wrong, repent, and struggle against their temptation. If they don't feel that it's wrong, they go find another church, they don't agitate to receive the sacraments anyway.

The in-your-face homosexual activists aren't really interested in repentance, they are on a political campaign (which of course is incompatible with genuine repentance and intent to amend, even if one falls short repeatedly).

The real problem with this priest and this parish is that they are loudly insisting that what the Church teaches to be sin, is not sin, and that they are proud of it. That's incompatible with calling oneself a Catholic parish.

Well that’s not what the article says. It said homosexuals cannot receive communion.
