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.

It’s not the answer, but I just love the idea!! :clapping:

It’s this kind of thinking that makes it absolutely impossible for heavy-handed liberal types to make longterm headway in this country!!! 😉

How I wish we could do it! It would be so much fun! :whacky:

Do they go to confession first and renounce their sinful life style ?

Come on it is a deliberate act to demonize the Church.

I doubt they go to confession first, at least not to confess homosexual sex acts. If I understand them correctly, they do not believe those acts to be sinful, so presumably they would not confess them.

I didn’t say what they are doing is right, I was just responding to another poster’s concern that they might be violent or disrupt communion lines. I doubt they will.

They go up to receive communion. How is that not disruptive?

They are acting in a scandalous manner and shouldn’t even be allowed in, wearing sashes.

Here is what a previous poster said:
standing there so others cannot receive, or getting physical

I mean’t they won’t do this. I can’t seem to be clear lately. I just meant they probably won’t do this.

As I said earlier, it is wrong to try to make a point at mass and try to draw attention to your own person. I would find them highly distracting if they were in the pew next to me. Anyone who is in open protest and trying to alter Church doctrine inside mass would be noteworthy (and highly distracting/disruptive). Clearly they would be breaking up the normal unity of the situation.

I have no idea if the parish priest should bar them from the premises. I’m glad I don’t have to decide.
 
Yes, we should smash mirrors when necessary. We are called by scripture to rebuke and correct our fellow Christians.

I was wondering. Are lay people allowed to correct rainbow sashers during Mass?

Can anyone else imagine that?

Are lay people allowed to correct other lay people during Mass ?​

Are rainbow sashers allowed to correct lay people during Mass?

Are lay people allowed to correct lay people with a passion for correcting others during Mass ? 🙂

When is fraternal correction fraternal correction - and when is it something unChristlike masquerading as Christian love ?

What on earth are people doing not concentrating on the Mass ? ##

That seems a tad disingenuous to me. When folks intentionally want to disrupt mass, that will break folks concentration. Let us be reasonable, please.
 
They are in public heresy, and as such require public admonishment.
 
I would tell an usher… and as an usher myself, I would ask them to leave and if they did not I would call the authorities to have them forcibly removed.

Mass is no arean for protest, they may picket the Church or march outside all they want. BUT when it comes to the celebration of the Eucharist, protest somewhere else.

Folks who make such a protest have no respect for the Eucharist and don’t belong in mass anyway.
Just my opinion, if my pastor told us otherwise I would follow his wishes, but if I saw this in a mass I was ushering, I would do as I mentioned.

I agree but it seems to me their selfish behavior is concrete evidence of the bad fruit from which they come.
