I have to confess, obviously, to being naive. I would never in my worst nightmare have thought such an event possible. That a Prelate of Holy Mother Church would, without a second's demur, give the Consacrated Species to two men not only dressed as women, and wearing make-up, but also mockingly parodying nuns, is beyond believable. And yet, there we have it on camera. I am in no position to judge Archbishop Niederauer's motives nor do I know anything about the pressures he faced and, above all, I will not attack him. Nevertheless, what happened should never have happened, ever! Is this true "acceptance" or mere indulging of capricious and rebellious behaviour which even adolescents would baulk at???
Gay Catholics need pastoral understanding coupled with tough love and clear teaching that forgiveness of the sin must be followed by the sinner's metanoia.
