"In Denying Communion at Mother’s Funeral, Priest Contravened the Catechism"

[calimary]

9. I was almost denied Communion once by this old priest who didn't like my response.

I didn't give the proper formulaic response when presented with the Eucharist. I think I said "thank you." He stopped immediately and withheld it and said "are you a Catholic?" Right there in the Communion line! I called the rectory after Mass and complained.

I don't march to your judgmentalism sir. And btw, have you cleaned up that pedophilia thing yet?

Interesting side-note - we recently got a letter from the parish administrator, who was trying to reassure everyone that any donations to whatever-the-hell-it-is-this-time fundraising campaign were going TO THAT CAMPAIGN, and not - um - er - uh - "elsewhere." The letter cited a complaint from "one" parishioner who didn't "trust" (and that was the word he used) how the funding was going to be allocated. HAH! We ALL knew what THAT meant! Can't tell you how many complaints I've heard mumbled by other mothers at our parish school through the years. Quite a few of us didn't want to put anything in the collection basket anymore because we all suspected it was going to some settlement somewhere else on behalf of yet another molester priest that Roger Mahony had just reassigned and thus moved safely out of range.
