Oh, why are they treating these gay Buddhists as though they are not Christians in good standing? /s
The conservative Catholics will win this one.
Love all the snarky little asides strewn through this piece. The Post has been turned away from the rectory at St John Neumann, and we parishioners have refused to speak to them; looks like they only roped one injudicious woman into speaking to them. They’re really determined to play Woodward and Bernstein and find something really, really naughty, aren’t they?
Of course, they interviewed his arch-enemy, the late-term abortionist and friend-to-demons Leroy Carhart. Note that Carhart employs the word “intimidating,” to Father Guarnizo, to help strengthen the case against him. But the idea that this little 150 pound guy could intimidate anybody is absurd. Father Guarnizo and the protesters at Carhart’s evil clinic never approach Carhart or his facility. It is not surprising that Carhart has lied, and even less surprising that the Post included his lies.
The Gay Buddhist is just looking for her 15 Flukes of Fame. I don’t know why this is news. Buddhists don’t do communion.
I agree with the Priest.if he knows she is living a life that is in conflict with Church teachings then he should deny communion.
1 Corinthians 11:26-29
26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
This is the kind of stuff going on daily but not always in the headlines. What I'm seeing is the conservative church being edged out and replaced by luke warm socialist Catholics that use the Church as a ruse to get more food stamps and welfare. A cardinal or the pope should make an example out of Hugo Chavez or Pelosi or any one of 20 Kennedy's and cut off the Sacraments until they publicly repent.
>> ideas such as gay marriage
I don’t care who engages in civil contract, but to advance ‘homosexual marriage’ as a meaningful term is asinine. Marriage is a Holy sacrament between one man and one woman.
“It was written...”
He did the right thing. I would be denied Communion in a Catholic Church because I’m Protestant.
The next step will be for Holder and the ACLU to file a lawsuit against the priest for a bias crime.
So two liberal Jews are gonna tell us Catholics how to run things?
From the article above.
The Johnson family obviously taught their daughter well about how to tread the path to hell.
A Caholic's relationship with God IS a personal matter but PULBIC BEHAVIOR at Mass and in life is NOT a personal matter no matter how much one babbles about one's personal sexual orientation.
The priest has the authority to withhold communion; he always has had the authority and always will.
This is why many mainline denominations are dying off. They stand for nothing but the same mealy-mouth political correctness and popular psychology one can get from any sitcom. If the catholic church doesn't get its feet under it on these issues, it faces a bleak future.
Passing your responsibilities off to government and looking to the masses for direction flies in the face of what serving God is all about.
This whole incident is goofy. Everybody knows that only Catholics commune in Catholic churches. I, a former Lutheran and now a Nazarene, attended a catholic seminary for three years. The eucharist is off limits unless you are Catholic. What is so hard for this Buddhist woman to understand?
