[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing to me is that, after years of supposed Catholic schooling and devotion, she has somehow missed the fact that a) you cannot receive the eucharist while in a state of mortal sin and that 2) actively engaging in a homosexual relationship is grave enough to be a mortal sin.   Her agenda has blinded her to the truths of the very faith that she is claiming to profess.  Bizarre.  Receiving the eucharist is a spiritual, mental and physical demonstration that you are living - or attempting to live - in accordance with the truths of church teaching.  Anyone who knows that they are not, should refrain from receiving until they have been to confession and made an attempt to amend their ways.  That simple.

As for the priest, I think he should have had a conversation with her ahead of time - and we don't know, maybe that happened.  However, waiting for the communion line was not the moment for this.

ITA. I am the OP, and a non Catholic. No one told this woman that she had to be Catholic. [/quote]

She was in the church because her Mom was catholic and she was attending her mom's funeral.  I certainly don't read that article to think that was some devout catholic, but it's where her mom's funeral was, because, gee, it was about her mom.  If your point is that she shouldn't be "using" the church to make some political statement which seems to be your sentiment, then the church shouldn't use her mom's funeral as a way to make a political statement either.  And by leaving the area when she was eulogizing her mom and refusing to attend the services graveside is exactly what he did.  Plus, it just makes him look like an asshole.  [/quote]
