[Cicero]

Nothing is to stop Catholic homosexuals from confessing their sins, amending their lives, and receiving Communion to help them stay on the straight and narrow.

But the act of wearing a special gay-activist sash while receiving communion is, ipso facto, an act of defiance of the Church and an insult to Christ. Also, as the old Anglican Book of Common Prayer used to warn, like the Tridentine Mass, anyone who receives Communion unworthily is "eating and drinking damnation unto himself."

It's the same principle as St. Patrick's Day parades. No one is going to stop homosexuals from marching with everyone else, as long as they don't call attention to themselves with political statements or special costumes.

[Diago]

The Archbishop is great. But this brings up an interesting question. Rainbow sashes are bad enough but what about Catholic Bishops who have large Rainbow Triangles (and decapitated doves) on their Diocesan Websites. Would the Archbishop give Communion to Bishop Pilla?
