I've seen priests deny communion for less


I grew up in a baptist church and I was never allowed to take "communion" because I was not saved

It was always so awkward seeing the look of disapproval on my Dads face as I would pass the plate to the rest of my family without taking any bread...

That's sad man. Jesus said to do it to remember him. He didn't say do it only if you have met certain criteria.

You'd think that since the number of people receiving communion far outweigh the number of people going to confession, they'd refuse a lot more people.
Nah, they'll stick with picking and choosing which parts of the bible to live by and which parts to ignore.

I think it's fricked up, but the church has that right. I just don't know why the church is so pissed off at gays when I guarantee that other people taking communion had much more heinous sins than that to refuse communion over, and hell, probably the gay guy himself had done worse things he hadn't apologized over. The guy was just trying to make a point and was a bit of a dick about it.

The thing is the priest knew about it apparently. The priest should've done the same to any person that he KNEW had committed sins that prevent a person from receiving communion.

Is the sin liking other men or engaging in physical acts with other men? If the former, then I guess I get it. If the latter, how would the priest know for certain that the man engaged in physical sexuality with other men? A guess? If that's the case, he should refuse communion to every able-bodied male, since masturbation is a sin.

What, do you think he associated himself with prostitues and beggars?


People keep saying this but the prositutes and other sinners repented. Something this gay guy didn't do. I'm 100% sure Jesus would hang out with this gay guy too under the condition that he repent...LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Just because you're gay you don't get a special exemption from sin.

Priest did the right thing, communion won't cure gayness you gotta go to camp for that. Sounds like this guy was just being lazy.

I don't go to communion in the Catholic Church and it sucks since there's not enough room for the fatties to pass by in the pew. I'll let the first few pass then bam, a fattie, I have to walk to the end of it and stand there to wait...then go back and kneel until I have to let the other people get back by. Part of me wants to go up there like a child and just get a blessing instead. Be easier.

I know right I feel sorry for attention whore atheists who are so arrogant they think anyone who believes in anything different than they do (presumably the cult of secular humanism) is weak minded.

No, you have to willingly do it for it to be a sin.

So many people suddenly worried about how a church conducts its business. Most of who seem to not spend much time in one or in the bible posing as experts on the matter.

If all the Methodists in town wanted to receive the Eucharist, the priest would not allow until they were properly disposed. This is no different.

The guy acknowledged his gay marriage in the obituary, the priest was protecting the sanctity of the Eucharist which is his job.

The gay guy knows better and is trying to gain attention
