Great article!!! I though what was said here by David Morrison was one of the best explianations of how and why following Christ is goin to difficult for some, but is what is being asked by us all. Be you gay, straight, rich, or poor. Dirty robes won't get you into the banquet, but their are those that think by wearing a rainbow sash, you won't notice their robes are stained. (Yes there is a dress code)

Where were the ushers? Bring in the Knights of Colombus.

Amen to that Teresa! Bring in the Knights...

The KC's need to inaugurate a new degree of Knights, complete with the swords, dispatched to defend the Eucharist against these people.

And we'll call them Rainbow Slashers!

It does seem to make for a good case to bring back communion rails (to thwart ne'rdowells from rushing the Blessed Sacrament) and mandatory kneeling and receiving on the tongue. And what was that little plate that the altar boys used to hold under your chin lest the Eucharist should accidentally fall? We should re-equip servers with them... and bonk folks on the head who get grabby or make political statements at church!

I hear that the Knights Templar had been reinstated by John Paul II. Could the Crusaders of old take on the new enemies of the Church?

Personally I would think that most Roman Catholics would love to see the ushers, or the Knights of Columbus step in, when needed,(like this sash and ribbon show) and remove, with force,(if needed) out the front doors of the Church, dust off their hands, and go back in and sit down. I can't think of any other assembly that would sit there and look the other way, while their speaker trys to ignore it too. The sash wearers would have been removed. Good riddance.
