But last month, as six U.S. cardinals joined St. Paul-Minneapolis Archbishop Harry Flynn at a Mass in the Cathedral of St. Paul, about two dozen members of Rainbow Sash, Dignity, and Soulforce received Communion in their rainbow sashes, along with about 1,500 other Catholics.
The Mass was held in conjunction with a $1,000-a-plate banquet to raise funds for the Catholic University of America.
Gay activist Brian McNeill of Dignity Twin Cities told the Star Tribune April 24 that he and others were demonstrating because the Church’s official documents describe homosexual behavior as an "objective disorder." He acknowledged that Archbishop Flynn allows those wearing the rainbow sash to receive Communion, and he complained that Washington’s Theodore Cardinal McCarrick does not.
Chicago’s Francis Cardinal George, while he allows a special Mass for gays and lesbians at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, on the assumption — according to the Rainbow Sash Movement’s Chicago coordinator Joseph Murray — that all those attending are celibate, he has refused Communion to those demonstrating by wearing the Rainbow Sash.
Cardinal McCarrick is 'uncomfortable' denying Holy Communion to Kerry and others who
PUBLICLY promote or support the murder of the unborn, yet he is "comfortable" with denying the Blessed Sacrament to those who
PUBLICLY show that they are practicing homosexuals.
Once again, "Catholic" homosexual activists intend to demonstrate their disagreement with Church teaching on homosexuality by receiving Communion on Pentecost Sunday in cathedrals and churches across the country, wearing their rainbow sashes.
"In wearing the Rainbow Sash we proclaim that we are Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender with our families, friends, and loved ones we witness and celebrate our sexuality as a sacred gift," declares a press release by the Rainbow Sash Movement
