Priest should “slam” this “Methodist Pastor” right back.
Its not a debate the leftist SJW will win.
The Methodist communion ceremony is much different from the Catholic communion.
For one thing, Methodists only get grape juice, and the Catholics get real wine.
Huh … "Violet"?
Yeah.
I see the problem ...
Violet is a weird name for a man.
“United Methodist Pastor Violet Johnicker” should mind her own business.
I see the problem ...
Violet Johnicker.....MYOB. Seems that the Methodists have plenty of back sliders of their own to keep them busy. I’m not a Catholic.
The tragedy here is that the Priest had to do what he did. Mr Biden chose his own way.
My guesses about “United Methodist Pastor Violet Johnicker.”
She’s either lesbian or divorced.
The average age of her congregation is about 74.
They got their last new member about 5 years ago.
They haven’t had a baptism in at least 5 years, but do a booming business in funerals.
Although they preach every Sunday about “diversity and inclusion,” her congregation is 98% white.
The church sits 400 people, but the present congregation is about 45 attenders.
They fly a rainbow flag or banner and participate in the yearly Pride Parade.
The Catholic Church is not a democratic institution and has never claimed to be a democratic institution. The Catholic Church has rules. You take it or you leave it; and a lot of people have left it. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
Same league, different team. Protestants such as myself should just stay the hell out of it.
The lesbian and homosexual atheists who run the heretical and apostate United Methodist Church have exactly no authority to speak to actual people of faith.
The Methodist minister needs to 1) be concerned more about his own flock than the Catholic priest’s parish; 2) realize that he is NOT an enforcer of Catholic doctrine and dogma, primarily because he is NOT Catholic; 3) re-look at how his view of Methodism has strayed from its doctrinal roots on viewing good and evil and change his ways.
Note to Methodist Pastor: Stay in your lane.
Sorry, Methodist Pastor, you are not Catholic so your vote doesn’t count in Catholic Churches.
I think there was a time in Mehodist Churches when that Pastor would not have have been able to be a Methodist Pastor. That was when taking communion went with the acceptance of what communion meant. It was not a “greeting” to believers and non-believers alike.
In Catholicism that fundamental belief translates into other corallary beliefs in Catholicism. In that context, communion in a Roman Catholic church is really for Roman Catholic believers, not those who openly express denial and opposition to Catholic beliefs.
Methodists, like most Protestants, don't think that is what communion is. Lutherans believe something different than most Protestants, but presumably she doesn't have the Lutheran view of communion. So she's basically making things up.
Non-Catholic lay woman fails to mind her own business in spite of having no standing to tell Catholic priest what to do.
^^Fixed it.
She would do well to remember where she receives her authority...
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 King James Version (KJV)
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Knew it would be a woman pastor. Sometimes one has to judge a person by their public actions Violet.
