Everyone should know that if you are Catholic you dont get communion unless you confess what a dirty slut you are or you must let the priest fondle your child's penis.
Its the only way!

Usually when you hear a story about priests is it about them raping young boys, but not today. This priest decided to tone it down a notch and just be a homophobe at a lesbian's mother's funeral.

CAn anybody tell me wher this woman you should not partake in her communion.
Also, the priest is not a doctor just as an apple is not an orange; plus the doctor is not being forced by the government to go against their beliefs in order to harm life.
it doesn't matter,the priest is wrong to be judging. don't they teach only god can judge?? yes they do.
Try being a litle more objective next time instead of letting your dislike for a belief system blind you to right and wrong. He did not seek her out to condemn her, she approached wanting him to do something she had no good right or rational reason to expect that he would or could do given his chosen beliefs.
A Maryland priest who denied communion to a lesbian at her mother's funeral has been placed on leave, according to the Roman Catholic archdiocese.
A letter from an archdiocese official said that the Rev. Marcel Guarnizo was placed on leave for engaging in intimidating behavior, according to NBCWashington.com. The archdiocese had previously apologized for Guarnizo’s behavior.
The letter was read at all Masses this weekend at St. John Neumann, according to The Washington Post. The pastor there, the Rev. Thomas LaHood, said the removal was not related to the communion standoff, but "pertains to actions over the past week or two." He did not elaborate.
Barbara Johnson, the woman who was denied the communion, had asked the archdiocese to remove the priest. Johnson’s family says they hope that action will ensure that others will not suffer the same treatment.

On Feb. 25, Johnson attended her mom's funeral at the St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Gaithersburg, Md., with her partner.
When it came time to hand out bread and wine, Guarnizo “issued a strong admonition that only Catholics in a state of grace can receive communion,” Johnson told msnbc.com.
“I went up. I was standing next to my mother’s casket and he covered the bowl, and said, ‘I cannot give you communion because you are with a woman, and in the eyes of the church, that is a sin.’ I stood there with my mouth open in a state of shock for – I don’t know how long,” she said.
As the final insult, Guarnizo failed to attend her mother’s burial, Guarnizo said. “When the funeral home director appears, he says, ‘Father Marcel has taken ill. He says he has a migraine and is unable to accompany your mother’s remains to the cemetery.’ This was, for me and my family, his most egregious act.”
The Diocese of Washington sent a letter of apology within days, saying the priest's behavior wasn't correct.
“When questions arise about whether or not an individual should present themselves for communion, it is not the policy of the Archdiocese of Washington to publicly reprimand the person,” the statement said. “Any issues regarding the suitability of an individual to receive communion should be addressed by the priest with that person in a private, pastoral setting.”
My point from the beginning was that the aggressor -- whomever it may be -- is wrong and the facts first presented here did not clearly indicate who that aggressor was. I was simply playing devil's advocate in this forum and unwilling to follow the tide of cheap assumptions.
...And If trying to be objective and reasonable about things is "wrong,totally wrong." where you are from then I really don't want to live there.
there was no aggressor,that is where you made your mistake. it was about a priest being petty and forgetting what it is his religion preaches. love and tolerance and forgiveness. it was the priest who lacks empathy and compassion who was in the wrong. the woman was grieving for her mother. and he only wanted to push his agenda of intolerance.
I made the correct assertion that there was not enough proof available in the original post to call the priest guilty and or to assume that the woman was totally innocent and I presented that case. And upon your presentation of more evidence I agreed with you that the priest does appear to be in the wrong-- which is certainly real jerkish, mean and rude of me... so thanks for pointing that out friend.
However, if you want to insist on questioning my integrity or play some more word silly games you feel free to do it all on your own, I am tired of this argument over a rude priest and a sensitive lesbian that I probably wouldn't give two dry rat turds about in the real world.
Perhaps you can call me insensitive or something... or correct me and tell how "jerkish" and "turd" aren't real words, hmmm?

"Rev. Marcel Guarnizo denies Barbara Johnson communion
A local lesbian woman was denied communion at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Gaithersburg, Md. during her mother’s funeral service, The Washington Post reported.
Rev. Marcel Guarnizo learned that Barbara Johnson, 51, is a lesbian right before the service for her mother on Saturday morning. Johnson, a local art studio owner, arrived at the service with her partner.
After waiting in line for her communion, the priest told Johnson that he would not give her the bread and wine because of her “sin.”
“He put his hand over the body of Christ and looked at me and said, ‘I can’t give you Communion because you live with a woman, and in the eyes of the church, that is a sin,’ ” Johnson told The Washington Post.
Guarnizo also left the alter while Johnson was giving her eulogy.
