Gay activists denied communion
About 25 college students and community members at St. John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minn., were denied communion by Twin Cities Roman Catholic Archbishop John C. Nienstedt because they were displaying rainbow buttons and sashes in protest of the church’s stand on gay relationships.
The conflict between the archbishop and the group, mostly students from the Catholic St. John’s University and the College of St. Benedict, occurred during evening mass Sept. 26.
It came amid news that the state’s bishops were mailing 400,000 DVDs to Minnesota Catholics, spelling out church teachings on gay marriage and urging them to support candidates who endorse putting the issue to a vote.
…
If they mean “homosexual”, why not just come out and say it? Instead we get the euphemism “gay” because they’re soft-pedaling homosexuality.
The article’s title should have read: “Militant Homosexual Activists’ Attempt to Profane the Eucharist During Mass Foiled”
