You think you know better? It is you who divides when you mock what God asks of us. <br /><br />Please read theology of the body. At least you'll understand why you are not able to receive the Eucharist. Its not for reasons you think. The church hates the sin, never the sinner. <br /><br />You don't follow scripture, so when you say amen before the Eucharist, its not a truthful statement. Amen means you agree with the scripture, history, doctrine, and faith as God has revealed to us. <br /><br />Give the guy a break. He's rightly doing his job.

Eucharist, you are stating that you agree with the history, doctrine and what God has chosen to reveal to us. If you do not agree with God's laws and the Theology of the Body....AND.....you say amen, you are lying before the face of God. This is why a person does not receive the Eucharist. <br /><br />The church hates the sin,never the sinner. Your assertions conflict with the Word of God and His law. I wish you could see that. Take it up with God. Tell God that you know better.

This statement would be contrary to Catholic belief to say the least. In the case of someone who has actually practiced this sin and not received absolution, receiving communion would be an act of sacrilege. Such people are obviously at Mass to cause trouble, not to save their souls.rdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13645077468112021721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876502085465766394.post-58285320008797389052010-10-08T17:13:55.287-05:002010-10-08T17:13:55.287-05:00I don't understand why individuals who disagre...I don't understand why individuals who disagree with the Catholic church want so badly to be a part of it. If I don't like a certain group or disagree with their views I join a different group who agrees with and accepts my views. What is it about the Catholic church that causes members of the "Rainbow Sash" to feel they must be a part of the Catholic church and the must force the Catholic church to accept them? I can't help but laugh. It is like the wimpy kid on the playground demanding the rest of the boys play dolls with him. The kid needs to figure out that the other boys will never play dolls with him, he needs to go find a group of wimpy kids to play dolls with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11449403994819567200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876502085465766394.post-80821567356622351662009-06-09T16:24:10.186-05:002009-06-09T16:24:10.186-05:00Oh, don't be mortified by the letter.

I think he should be embarrassed to claim he has been given the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit, while condemning an entire group of people who wish to accept themselves as God made them. I will never see eye to eye with individuals - priests, or not - who make statements like this: "The truths of our faith are not open to debate." No: the truths of our faith are not open for debate - but the arbitrary rules of the Catholic church, and its devastating history of violence and exclusion, absolutely are.<br /><br />As a Catholic lesbian, I will continue to point out the flaws of the church and all the ways in which it goes directly against the loving, compassionate and inclusive teachings of Jesus until such day as the church wakes up to the realities of our current day. Belief in God is and should always be about unification based on singleness of purpose: to believe in God and act accordingly.

I think that refusing the sacrament of inclusion to anyone who disagrees is degrading to the Eucharist, more than disrespectful and irreverent. <br /><br />I join in the Eucharist with the community of Christians the world over who believe that God loves humankind and is building a universal community of mutual love and cooperation through us, out of suffering and conflict as in Jesus’ own life. That is what I thought it was all about. <br /><br />I guess whether one is protesting or celebrating by wearing a rainbow sash is a matter of individual intent.<br /><br />There is no use denying it, when I have been at the Cathedral wearing a sash, I have been protesting. I have been saying by my presence there that I think the Church teaching on homosexual partnering is wrong. It is cruel. It hurts people. It is unreasonable. It doesn’t take into account the human need of intimate relations. The only argument for prohibiting homosexual sex is that it doesn’t produce children. That cannot be the only value for human sexuality. It doesn’t prevent old people or infertile people from having sex in the sanctity of Church approved marriage. <br /><br />I wear the sash in protest of this cruel teaching, but I receive the Eucharist because I believe that God’s love includes all of us disagreeing and disagreeable humans. They are two different acts signifying two different meanings. In the first, the Archbishop and I are at odds; in the second we are brother and sister trying to live our beliefs in this imperfect world. I wish he could see it that way.Paula Ruddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583805580770331316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876502085465766394.post-31913108286321768432009-05-28T16:09:51.381-05:002009-05-28T16:09:51.381-05:00Your post has been quoted and linked on my blog at...Your post has been quoted and linked on my blog at http://www.theliberalspirit.com/?p=537.
