Cardinal George: No communion for homosexual protesters Sunday

Gay Catholics who plan to identify themselves by wearing a rainbow sash in church Sunday should be denied communion, according to a memo Cardinal Francis George has written to all pastors in the Archdiocese of Chicago.

[T]he cardinal wrote that wearing the sash indicates disagreement with church teaching that gay sexual relations are sinful, and therefore those who wear the sash should not receive communion.

[Cardinal] George added that "the policy of the U.S. Council of Bishops is not to give Communion to those wearing the sash. If they come to Communion like every other member of the Church, without the sash which is a sign of their opposition to Church teaching, they may receive. This is also the policy of this Archdiocese."

And the issue with pro-abortion politicians and others is...what?
