gays denied communion

i didn't know the catholic's church policy on homosexualists taking communion was the infamous «don't ask, don't tell» used by the US military.

a group of gay activists wearing rainbow sashes were denied the catholic sacrament of holy communion 30 may in chicago. they protested a policy set by the area's prelate that said they were in violation of church teaching by advertising their sexual preference.

cardinal francis george sent a memo to the chicago archdiocese, the second largest in the country, ordering priests not to give communion to sash-wearers, opening a new front in the controversial practise of withholding communion (abortion was the first).

a spokesman for the american sash movement reported the bishop [probably a homosexualist himself] just said "god bless". the spokesman added: «we're good enough to be blessed but we're not good enough to receive the holy eucharist».

theists just don't see the hypocrisy, do they?!
