What a terrible thing to do to the EMHC’s. Talk about put them on the spot. A question, if someone is not in Communion the priest can give them a blessing. I don’t believe an EMHC can do a blessing can they? What is their alternative?

What is more terrible - not defending the Eucharist or being in a tough spot?

Call in the Knights of Columbus with their swords. They could protect the Eucahrist from this profanation.

…and maybe a foot protruding into the isle way if any decide to process down to communion.​

Are you kidding? You would phyisically trip another human being in Church? That’s Christian behavior?
You can’t be serious. And you should be ashamed.

Seriously, I would help them to get up. 😉

If you are an EMHC it is within your right under Canon Law (815) to refuse communion to those individuals because their wearing of the sash proclaims publicly their lack of Communion with the Church. Thus you could deny the Eucharist and be on firm ground. Your ground could be shaky if you live in St. Paul, but here in Chicago, you would get support from Cardinal George.

Hey, NWUArmyROTC!

Much seems to have happened since you posted at what time?, noon ? today!! Archbishop Flynn is getting with the program!! I expect that by the time you read this, you will have read the posts telling the great news!

Who knows, it just may have been your post that prompted him to join the Church!

Or: Perhaps rumors as to Cardinal George being given Cardinal Ratzinger’s old responsibilities (stranger things have happened!), may have caused Archbishop Flynn to figure he’d better go with the “Chicago plan!”

As to the RS: Those who live by the power politics must be prepared to die by same. 👍

God bless,

Anna.

I can see them getting to the priest/EH, and when they are denied Communion, either standing there so others cannot receive, or getting physical. You better believe they won’t just go quietly. That would be totally against the reason they are there.

They do not seem to have an agenda to obstruct others, just to stand in the pew in protest after not receiving communion. The photo I’ve seen is of them standing when others are not. Below is cut from a rainbow website:

The Rainbow Ritual :

We attend the Church Eucharist or Service in the following way :
  • We put on our sashes during the opening hymn.
  • We participate as church members.
  • We approach the minister/priest, wearing the sash, seeking Holy Communion with other church members.
  • We return to our seats in the event of refusal and silently stand or sit till the end of Communion time.
  • We participate “always” in a peaceful and dignified manner.

Well, that’s good. Although, standing at that time is disrespectful to Christ in the Sacrament.

You are letting your imagination get wild. This has never happened and doubt it will.
 
I’ve never heard of or seen a “rainbow sasher,” though by reading all the posts I gather this is a person demonstrating on behalf of the homosexual community? What exactly is the message they want to get across? Is it about priests? Someone please elaborate. :confused:

I am so, so glad we do not have this particular problem in our area. I do not know if it is not popular or just healthy respect that deters it.
 
Should “rainbow sashers” even be allowed in a Church? The rainbow was chosen by God as a sign of His covenant with Noah:

"This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you. . . . I will set my bow in the clouds" – Genesis 9:12-13.

Isn’t the appropriation of the rainbow by “sashers” a clear instance of BLASPHEMY? Isn’t it to insult the majesty of God, to mock God?

The rainbow sashers want, gay marriage, gay priests, married priests, women priests, divorce, pick your heresy…I sure that they support most of them. They go and make a scene trying to get their point across by the priest refusing them communion, as he has to, and then throwing a fit about it to the press. Pathetic really, that they must go to all that trouble just to get some press. Thank God we don’t have that problem here.

My priest is Sicilian, with a great Sicilian temper. I almost wish they’d try to come to Mass here! They either wouldn’t make it through the front door or would hear a few choice words from him in doing so!

Good idea… maybe our Knights will come in dress uniform for Pentecost.
 
I’ve never seen a Rainbow sasher at any of the masses I’ve attended but then I’ve only been back since Lent.

However, if anybody tried any kind of nonsense perhaps a few of the good ole country boys we have here in Kansas might “usher” them outside for a lesson in respect. 😉

        A heretic enjoys automatic excommunication from the Church. Thus, these “Rainbow Sashers” have already incurred their penalty which, in my opinion, is a horrible fate. Thus, forcibly removing them from Mass, or otherwise tripping or acting violently against them is of no merit. We must pray for the conversion of their souls, and help them realize that Holy Mother Church speaks the truth.
 
if i had my druthers, i’d have a few thousand sashes made and if the church had a problem with them attending, just hand out a sash to EVERYONE walking throught the door… making the fact the gays are wearing them moot. They’d have no power to stand out, they’d blend in with everyone negating the whole point of the sash.

Do they go to confession first and renounce their sinful life style ?
Come on it is a deliberate act to demonize the Church.

      1. Correct. except the definition of heresy to use would be:
        The obstinate denial or doubt, after baptism, of a truth which must be believed by divine and Catholic faith.

        Such as SODOMY IS EVIL.

        That’s a biggie.
