U.S. Archbishop issues perplexing "clarification" statement

Juridically, why can't this teacher of faith see the clarity and simplicity of Cardinal Arinze's recent admonition: "Rainbow Sash wearers are showing their opposition to Church teaching on a major issue of natural law and so disqualify themselves from being given Holy Communion." [1]

Of all the many liturgical abuses attacking the Church today, none compare in gravity with the untold numbers of sacrilegious receptions of Holy Communion committed by persons who are persistently obstinate in their grave, manifest (known) sins. [2]

Especially grievous is the sacrilegious reception by rainbow sash-wearing 'gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender' homosexuals who, for the past five years on Pentecost Sunday, protest the Church's teachings regarding their 'intrinsically disordered' acts. [3]

It is most interesting that on January 26, 2005, Archbishop Flynn issued a new 'Clarification,' with regard to inexact comments he made to Catholic News Service [CNS] on December 14, 2004. These comments were issued after Archbishop Flynn's December meeting in Rome with His Eminence Francis Cardinal Arinze, Prefect for the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments [CDW].

The next day, on January 27, CNS published a column entitled "Archbishop says Vatican wants uniform approach to gay rights groups." In their column, CNS quoted only two sentences of the Archbishop's 300 word 'Clarification' [CNS is own and operated by the USCCB].

Since the entire 'Clarification' contains others words of interest, it is presented in its entirety herewith.

Therefore, 'in gremio legis,' it is most perplexing when Archbishop Flynn wrote, "This recommendation needs to be reviewed by those bishops involved in the near future."

Does Archbishop Flynn mean that clearly defined Church Teaching will be received only as a 'recommendation?' Does Archbishop Flynn believe that the four bishops have the freedom to accept or reject these Church Teachings now or sometime in the near future? This is a most perplexing 'Clarification.'
