Neumayr Doubles Down

Neumayr Doubles Down  my comments: By the rules of what consitutes a marriage, and more important, who (its the couple, not the priest), being a lesbian in a long term marital relationship is not a sinful act and the Church cannot make it so.  Canon 915 is also a bad example of proof texting - Catholic style.  When Corinthians was written, or doctrinal understanding of worthiness and unworthiness to receive Communion had more to do with apostacy than sins aganst chastity (assuming homosexuality is a sin, which it is not within the context of marriage).  Further, it is not up to the priest to prevent the sacrilege when it does occur - at least in the modern Church.  If Ms. Jordan were formally excommunicate, then publicly denying the sacrament may be called for.  She was not, so it is not the priest's business.  As to her Budhist practice, it is a practice, not a faith.  Once a Catholic, always a Catholic.  It is not apostacy to chant, meditate and show compassion.  Indeed, one is hardly a Catholic if one does not due these things.
