Archbishop Harry Flynn has said Rainbow Sash members will not be denied Communion, reserving such an action for "extreme" circumstances.
Just then, what are "extreme" circumstances, pray tell - or do any such "extreme" circumstances even exist in our day of enlightenment? To openly defy Church teaching on sexual sins, especially the abomination of homosexuality, and to openly approach the altar to receive our Lord's Body and Blood not only unrepentently, but in a public manifest display of arrogance and disobedience is worse than shameful. What is even worse than there are bishops and priests who allow such scandals to occur. This failure to discipline wreaks havoc on the faithful who, unless having properly formed their consciences, can only become more confused at what the Church teaches.

Some, however, will try to prevent the Rainbow Sash members from receiving Holy Communion. This is being done to protect the Blessed Sacrament from sacrilege, something that some others should do, but won't.
