Gay Catholics To Be Denied Communion

Archbishop Harry Flynn has told gay-rights supporters they can't receive Holy Communion while wearing rainbow-colored sashes because it is seen as a protest against Catholic teaching and unacceptable to the Vatican.

The Rainbow Sash movement is an organization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Catholics and their families and friends.

Brian McNeill, Minneapolis organizer of the Rainbow Sash Alliance, made the letter public Thursday and said it would not prevent people from wearing the sash a week from Sunday at the Cathedral.

"I am asking you to remove your sashes before you receive Holy Communion," Flynn wrote to McNeill. "I ask you to observe this sign of respect for the Eucharist not only in the Cathedral but in all our parishes. No one wearing the sash will be permitted to receive the Blessed Sacrament."
