It’s interesting that the US bishops’ conference, when it’s gathered in session, will do what individual bishops will not, that is deny Communion to homosexuals wearing rainbow sashes. Of course, the sash-ayers call it homphobia, but then they can’t imagine a principled reason based on a divine revelation to oppose homosexual activity. I hate to say, but I wonder where the backbone to stand up to this group came from since I’ve rarely seen such a stand from the bishops in the past.
