Lesbian vows revenge on priest

I recently read an article about a lesbian who is openly living with her female 'lover' being absolutely furious at a priest who refused to give her Communion at her mother's funeral. The woman has vowed that she wont stop fighting until the priest is removed from the parish.
But it gets worse. The archdiocese in which this priest serves is on the side of the lesbian, saying that the conduct of the priest was insensitive. 
What's even worse than that? Before the Mass, the woman approached the priest, introduced herself, and the woman she was with as her 'lover'. It's like she was rubbing it in the priest's face that she was an open and active lesbian, and then the woman get's pissed off when Communuion has been refused to her.
I want to cover my butt here, first. Just because the woman is a lesbian, doesn't mean that she has any less dignity as a human being than any other person. When I share my opinions I will do my best to uphold the truth of her dignity in my writings, but her actions are a little less than dignified, and that's what pisses me off about her...not her lesbianism...ok, people?
PEOPLE!! EDUCATE YOURSELVES BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY SORT OF JUDGEMENT. It is a grave sin in the Catholic Church to be an ACTIVE homosexual (but it is not a sin to BE a homosexual). And whether or not you AGREE with this teaching, doesn't change the teaching. It is what it is, and one would be a responsible adult to accept it, and move on. This isn't gay-oriented bigotry, it's about having sexual relations outside the context of the Sacrament of Marriage. If I had a boyfriend and he and myself were doing the nasty on a regular basis, and the priest knew about it, the priest has the RESPONSIBILITY to refuse me Communion.
The Priest should be commended for refusing that woman Communion. He was more concerned about the sin of sacrilege being committed than of offending someone who doesn't really respect the teachings of the Catholic Church anyway. He did the right thing. He protected what was sacred. And besides, it wouldn't have been good for the woman to believe she has the right to receive Communion. Maybe this mild 'exclusion' will force her to be a little more introspective about her lifestyle, if it is indeed important for her to be included at Communion during Mass.
There is a huge disease that's being spread through the laity in the Catholic Church, and that is, people believe they have THE RIGHT to receive Communion (as a good friend of mine pointed out to me yesterday). I think this is the result of a secular society that is pushing 'inclusiveness'. Who wants to be seen left behind in the pew, when other Catholics are going up to receive Communion? I mean, they are going to Church after all, right? Shouldn't they be ALLOWED to share in Communion? Haven't they given money to the Church? Or maybe their moms and dads acquired wonderful reputations as good Catholics and therefore the children feel entitled to be instantly included and loved in the community..?
Communion is a free gift of Christ to those who are free of mortal sin....His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. We do not have the RIGHT to such a gift. Such arrogance! Such lack of reverence!
And that woman not stopping until that priest is removed is so rediculous, I don't even know where to start. She is just coming off as being another crazy lady. Her feelings were hurt, so she feels that she MUST PUNISH the one who hurt her feelings. A 'right' has been taken away from her, therefore, rather than reflecting upon her own glitches, she must get her satisfaction at destroying the life of a man who was doing was what perfectly legal and expected in the Catholic Church.  She can't face the fact that in the eyes of the Catholic Church, she was in error. Her problem is that she is making unreasonable demands on the Catholic Church; that the Catholic Church must loosen Her standards on what She considers 'sin', just so people can feel included during Communion. Because the lesbian's demands were not met, she feels the need to be selfish and destructive until her voice is heard. It is so cruel and unreasonable, I just can't fathom it. Just because a person demands something, doesn't mean the laws of the Universe must be changed in order for their demands to be met, at all times. Look lady, you are ignorant of the Church's teachings, you were presumptuous, you messed up, so please learn from it and move on. The Church will not change for you in order to make you feel better about your lifestyle. Do everyone a favour and educate yourself. Amen.
