It really is kind of a problem with EMHCs and I dont want to turn it into that kind of thread. But the priest does not know these people and would not recognize them or have any idea who they are. Handing it off to father is pointless and only cements one as a troublemaker. It is sad when there are thousands of parishoners and some “visit” from time to time that the Father cannot possibly begin to know the community.

I never said you had deleted my postI know only forum mods can do that etc and hadn’t a problem with it if you read the replies which am glad have been left for partly that reason.
… Whether I was Catholic or not that is still my response as you asked as an EMCH what would you do. I would continue to have done the same thing because and EMCH cannot refuse communion to anyone based on nothing. To assume someone is in Sin because a priest looked unhappy toward her is more than unfair. As an EMCH it be wise to take it up with the priest in private later but that is all.
The rest of the matter should be dropped because no one here actually knows what is happening accept for the priest and girl who probably have no idea what they have caused simply because he looked unhappy at her. Its upto him to follow up is concern with her privately if he has one and nothing to do with anyone here to be honest even any EMCH but the main thing they can do in the future is seek advice from the priest about where they stand and that is that whatever Catholic or not.
Any EMHC worth their salt would do what the poster above has just said and the matter be dropped. No one knows if the priest knows the girl or not and may well throughly know who she is but you wouldn’t necessarily know that. You Do Not know everyone who the priest knows. All you know who is regular on a Sunday and that is that and may be one other day you might go in the week. Priests meet a lot of people in the week and any private meetings are kept as thus so you would never know if who he knows.
Give the girl and the EMHC and the priest a break He may well have had a totally different reason to look unhappy right then and all you need to do is mention to him what you thought you had seen and keep is very quiet because actually you may have seen nothing at all.I have no idea what you are talking about.Any EMHC worth their salt would do what the poster above has just said and the matter be dropped.

If an EMHC is concerned then yes they would tell the priest their concern and that is all they need to do and the rest is definately dropped. It is so simple
