You should stop now. Your postings have no relation to Peach's situation, and you are propagating the stereotype that Catholic teaching is cruel and heartless.
Turn your hat around and quit while you're ahead.
How about everyone just shut up over Peach's situation.
More than likely, Peach's dad told the priest some whoppers about Peach's mom sleeping around or failing to fulfill her marital duty, and blamer her for "being the cause for the breakup of the marriage and the failure to be reconciled when possible" and the poor priest bought the story hook line and sinker. So he dutifully marched over and told her mom not to receive.
More than likely, this is the simplest, most plausible answer.
And Peach's 4 decade old sniping IS suspicious. I suspect there's much more to this story, probably what I said above, and peach's REAL issue is that old priest took her dad's word over her mom, and this is feminist revisional projection by Peach on the entire Church.
Either way, Peach's condemnation and rejection of Catholicism based on her story rings hollow to me, and probably is rationalization for other disagreements, probably feminist or sexual in nature, with the Church.
Good Idea!

Wow, how Christ like! I hope your not their poster boy.
LOL!! Another "Father John."
Brian, you're exhibit A of why ex-Catholics have no desire to return to the Church.
They don't want to sit in pews with such judgmental people.
May God's will be done.
