So Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley has signed marriage equality into law, and barring any successful referendum against it, it will become reality in January. But it's still kinda hard not to get dissed if you're gay or lesbian in parts of the Old Line State.
A 51-year-old parishioner at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Gaithersburg was attending her mother's funeral there when she was denied Communion by the priest, who apparently told her the reason to her face. See if you can guess what it was!
The good news: This "priest" has been put on leave. However, we cats are a little irritated that in a letter announcing the suspension, the Washington Archdiocese just couldn't resist taking a swipe at the gay parishioner for lacking a "state of grace."
Sheesh, the hypocrisy. Surely these miscreants were gulping down the wine and wafers each and every day they sexually molested children, no? Shame on them.
But even that aside, we think the members of St. John Neumann may want to hold back the next time the collection plate comes by. We cats aren't seeing a lot of love being practiced there, and we can't imagine Jesus turning anyone away.
