And? I mean, this IS a Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic Church still considers her bahviour to be a sin. The real issue is the effort to pressure the Catholic Churches in the US to become cheerleaders for Homosexuality.
The priest was right. The homosexuals were wrong and wrong to be offended if they claim to be Christians.
She can’t claim to be surprised at the Church’s position on homosexuality.
She’s probably surprised that someone decided to enforce that.
Good for the priest.
Bye
I am not Catholic, but I hope more and more priests take a strong religious stand against the queers.
Bravo Father Kneib!
When the hell is Piglosi going to be DENIED!
How many times do we have to hear some variation of homosexuals being shocked and outraged, when encountering someone not on board with their lifestyle?
And the tone of the news reports are that we should be liberal, and be sympathetic to “homophobic” forces in the world which are not celebrating that lifestyle.
She needs to go through bible classes again and learn that she is NOT WORTHY. Until she becomes so, she can not take it.
The Priest is doing the lady a favor - to take communion without due consideration to sin and the state of your soul is not smart!
For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.
1 Corinthians 11:23–30
“So unless you change the rules for *us*, we’ll take our ball and go home.”
Chutzpa doesn’t begin to describe it.
While there are doubtless instances of repentant homosexuals who struggle with weakness and need Jesus to help them out of their weakness, the fact that this woman went on to make a political statement out of the situation is an indication of impenitence. She should not, in such condition, receive the Lord’s body and blood. Note how the priest still wants to talk to her. Jesus never gives up. “How often I would have gathered you . . . but you would not.”
Good for the priest. Same-sex couples should NOT be welcome, they mock God.
Did anyone notice how they used the pope’s words to justify their position? The pope is trying to be more “tolerant”, but is encouraging the lefties to continue to persecute the church. If they believe the pope can be cornered, he will be cornered. He must make it plain as day that open sin cannot be condoned in the church. Otherwise, sin will overtake Catholics as it has Lutherans, Episcopalians, Anglicans, Methodists, et al.
I’m just glad that Fr. Kneib’s bishop is not Donna Wuerl.
the priest is correct.
the phone call could have been a better opportunity to address the woman’s sin and maybe start her thinking about it in a less defensive way. she may be too far gone, but a new guy who doesn’t know her doing this isn’t most likely going to bring about acknowlegment of sin and repentance. a face to face meeting may have been better.
hopefully the new place may be able to address it.
then they should also be denied communion in the future since they've openly advocated for a sin that is directly against the Church's teachings.
I for one applaud the priest in this case. I really do.
I am sick of homos who expect everyone to bend over backwards and abandon their faith and beliefs to make THEM happy.
How selfish can gays be? Her behavior is a sin to the Catholic Church, and in her eternal arrogance, she expects the church to change for her. She thinks the world revolves around her and her needs.
Thus sparing themselves retribution from the Holy Spirit. Well, for that one non-Communion.
So you expected him to show respect for your mother by helping you sin at the funeral?
These people make my head hurt.
