Catholic religious disobedience

the catholic ayatollahs lay down the law...
More than 50 gay rights activists wearing rainbow-colored sashes were denied Holy Communion at a Pentecost service yesterday at the Roman Catholic Cathedral in St. Paul, Minn., parishioners and church officials said.

and a member of the congregation throws it right back at 'em...
In an act that some witnesses called a "sacrilege" and others called a sign of "solidarity," a man who was not wearing a sash received a Communion wafer from a priest, broke it into pieces and handed it to some of the sash wearers, who consumed it on the spot.

i would suppose the archbishop was on the phone to RAT-zinger post haste...

what a shame... as a catholic in one of my much earlier lives, beyond the rigid dogmatism, i always thought of the catholic church as a haven of charity and tolerance and that was even AFTER i got bonked over the head with my little neighborhood friend's toy steam shovel when i told him that, as a non-catholic, he was going to hell when he died...
