Like I, Fr. G took vows and one is "Holy Obedience" to RC dogma. IF we really believe in transubstantiation, we cannot treat Holy Communion as a "Jesus Cookie," there is a time to NOT administer "Christ's Body and Blood." I wonder IF that was a heterosexual couple being denied (by their own choice) Communion, if this would even be an issue? We must stop bowing down to the homosexual/lesbian agenda and stop being afraid to be Roman Catholics...Reality check, Proper order is God first, man second. In saecula saeculorum.

Father Guarnizo had just 2 options; follow Roman Catholic dogma as a matter of conscience of "people please" and bow to the homosexual/lesbian agenda He made the right decsision since his vows so exact that he is bound to "holy obedience " to his own RC dogma... isn't that what we are about or do we just hand out "Jesus Cookies," thus making a mockery of the Holy Communion?

I am not certain if this Protestant understands that communion means something quite different to Catholics than to Protestants. I am a former Roman Catholic who converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Guess what? We ALSO do not give "communion" to anyone not of the Eastern Orthodox faith. The radical Protestant reformers such as John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli actually created the situation in that BOTH believed that Sacraments meant nothing and that communion for Protestants - with the possible exception of Lutherans - is merely symbolic. To Eastern Orthodox, Coptics, and Catholics of ALL rights, Holy Communion is NOT merely symbolic. By DENYING the Real Presence of the Body and Blood of Christ, Protestants have removed themselves from the "communion" of believers. Orthodoxy/Coptics and Catholicism are rooted in Apostolic Succession; Protestantism is grounded firmly in The Enlightenment and the words of atheists such as Voltaire. As an Orthodox Christian, I prefer to trust in the words of St. Polycarp. As for relativism in our society, again this is a direct result of Enlightenment philosophy. How ironic that the Enlightenment has led us to an age of darkness!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-54069111980247656012012-03-03T22:24:13.335-05:002012-03-03T22:24:13.335-05:00Father Marcel did what was right.

I made a choice to marry outside the catholic church and I knew I could not receive the BLESSING of communion until after my husband and I received the Sacrament of Marriage. <br />I feel what Fr. Guarnizo did was right. You cannot choose what Sacraments you want to follow. The seven sacraments are so you can follow them and receive all blessings God has for you. They are there to help give an idea of what God has planned for you (by following His law) and guide you to all the blessings that follow the sacraments.<br />Shame on her for making him remind her that she cannot receive HOLY communion. She should humble herself and know she could not. She did this in a malicious act to get a reaction from that priest. Nothing more. She may not be ashamed of her choices, but she must understand that her choice is not to follow the CC rules. So she chooses not to go to communion.Melissanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091192923206493007.post-6165658003853443582012-03-01T19:57:49.503-05:002012-03-01T19:57:49.503-05:00Not just a good priest.

Oh, I see you all live in glass houses, Catholic glass houses. It's all this venom and judgement that keeps people away from the Church. We are a dying religion, and then you wonder why.

During a time of death, believers look for answers and comfort. Unfortunately, no matter what you believe, Dr. Guarnizo lost an opportunity to reaffirm a loving church. I just do not see how he could have behaved that way. Rejecting communion is one thing but walking out of a eulogy is another. It is just a non-compassionate heartless thing to do to a grieving person.

Always speaking the truth of Christ and showing love and care for his flock. He did exactly what he must do as an apostle of christ, by defending the teachings and the faith of our church by not giving Holy Communion to this lady. This lady knew that she was not in state of grace to receive Holy communion,as she has a woman lover. This lady should have not expected to come to church and receive Holy communion expecting our priest to make a mockery of our church teachings by complying with her choice and demands. It is sad that she chose her mother's funeral to promote her gay/lesbian agenda in Maryland. Soon the government will be forcing our church to marry them.
