<div>I'm not sure of the politics of the catholic church. But I
don't recall Christ ever sending anyone away. I guess this is
one of the reason i'm not Catholic. Communion to me is a
personal issue and not one I get to choose who gets to take
communion and who doesn't. I'm sure there were many others in
the congregation that day who were sinners, One of them being
the priest himself. although there is no question that
homosexuality is a sin, it's not the ultimate unforgivable sin.
It is one of many sins that are mentioned in the bible. Each
time this comes up, i think of the scene of the woman and the
pharacies. He who is without sin should cast the first stone.</div>

<div>Personally I think this is one of the cases that C.S. Lewis
was talking about when he stated that satan is never closer than
on the steps of the alter. We have a commission to spread the
word to all the nations. When we close a door on someone, we
close the door. Although God can over come any obstacle we put
in front of us, it's not up to us to decide.</div>

I said the priest was/is correct BASED on the principles of the
Catholic church. And, no I'm not a Catholic either. If it was a
baptist church, for example, then all she'd have to deal with is
God.....unrepentant sin. <br>
