His Facebook supporters have encouraged Pryeor to “fight” the priest’s decision in hopes that the negative publicity will pressure the church to back down and give communion to homosexuals who publicly flout its teachings on homosexuality.

Negative publicity may frighten a craven and cowardly pastor to relent and (commit sacrilege and) give the Most Holy Sacrament of the altar to public sinners.

But pressure the Church in general to "change" the deposit of faith? Never!

There could be, and may be, martyrs' blood in the streets. But it still would not and could not ever change.

In saecula saeculorum.

And it’s precisely this kind of moral consistency and absolutism that many people find comforting in a world with morals that are always changing according to the latest sin du jour.
