I am all in favor of gay rights, but the Church has made itself quite clear on this issue. Was this woman really stunned or was she trying to test them?

I draw the line when we try to dictate morality to religious bodies.

Too bad this happened under these circumstances.

According to the article, it was actually wrong (or at least against church policy).

Why would her walk to get the communion if she knew according to the church she's living in sin?

Come on, folks. I'm all for gay rights but we must know our place.

At my former Catholic parish (in another state), there were gay lay communion ministers and welcome ministers (the people who give out the newsletters and do the collection).

Like the article said, what the priest did was against church policy.

The Church allows gay parishioners, but when it comes to communion, it is a different story.
I am Afric. Am. and when Mormons were not allowing non White priests, I did not feel that it was any of my business. Sure, if they asked ME, I would say it was wrong, but other than that, it was none of my business.
Agree that protest is OK, but they have the right to be Catholic and do things their way. I know that there are TONS of gay priests and nuns, but again, none of my business.

So what? They deny me because I'm not RC. I'm Presbyterian and all are welcome to take Communion as well they should be.

wow, where is the love? this woman was at her mother's funeral. this action just reeks of a lack of compassion, which i think would be counter to what God would want.

i seriously doubt this woman was taking a stand at her mother's funeral. have some compassion.

Yeah, and were you ever looking for a job in Utah? How'd you like to work for a Mormon boss in a heavily Mormon company knowing how they felt about blacks. Still none of your business?

My thoughts as well. Having gone through the loss of both parents and my FIL, I can't imagine that politics were entering into her thoughts.

Every time I think about returning to the church something like this happens that reminds me of why I can no longer worship as a Catholic.

She was trying to goad the priest. Serves her right.

Honestly, I know people who would use a funeral to make such statements.

I don't doubt this woman tried her best to cause something to happen. She's an entertainer... it's free marketing for her.
