"The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord? For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread." (1 Cor 10:16-17)

To Sash or Not To Sash?
Read about the Sash Wars. Tim rightly observes that the real issue is "one’s proper disposition before receiving the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ." What the Rainbow Sash members are missing is that this is a celebration of communion with the Body of Christ, both his physical body and his mystical body. If one is dissenting from Catholic dogma, certainly something as serious in nature as Church dogma on homosexual acts, then there can be no communion. Political stunts with the Eucharist is inappropriate at best, sacrilegious at worst.
