Archbishop John Nienstedt Obeys Canon 915

First, thanks to American Papist for the tip on this one.

Archbishop John Nienstedt of the Archdiocese of St Paul-Minneapolis denied Holy Communion to 25 "rainbow sash" types who were protesting the Church's stance on the sanctity of marriage.  I urge you not only to read the full article, but to take the suggested action to voice support for the archbishop.  Already one of his priests acted to undermine his authority by giving Communion afterwards to the protesters.

One can only imagine that the Archbishop will suffer additional fallout, and I regret pointing out that some of the opposition will come from some of his brother bishops who should know better.

From Renew America, we have this account.  The Archdiocese of Chicago displayed backbone.  Deo Gratias.

Disruption Planned for Pentecost Sunday Masses Nationwide

"American Papist" informs us that the Rainbow Sash crowd (a CINO "gay rights" group) is planning to disrupt Masses nationwide this Pentecost Sunday, e.g., next weekend.  While they are emphasizing their intentions to strike at Cardinal George in Chicago (presumably because he's USCCB president), I've got to imagine that they won't pass up the Nation's Capital.

Ladies and gentlemen, faithful Catholics, has anyone any information regarding plans for local profanation of Holy Mass?  It may be up to us to guard the dignity of the Eucharist.  Remember the martyr St Tarcisius, who gave his life to protect the Eucharist from desecration.  Yes, Tarcisius was a lay person.  In fact, he was a 12-year old boy when he was martyred.  Therefore, let's hear no cop-out excuses that "it's the clergy's job".

St Tarcisius, pray for us!
