Lesbian Barbara Johnson Says Father Marcel Guarnizo Denied Her Communion At Her Mother's Funeral

It all started on Saturday at St. John Neumann Catholic Church in Gaithersburg (Maryland), where friends and family had gathered to say goodbye to Barbara's mother, who died last week after a brief illness.

Just a few minutes before the funeral began, Father Marcel Guarnizo, who was presiding over the service, apparently learned that Barbara was involved in a romantic relationship with another woman.

A lifelong Catholic and former Catholic school teacher, Barbara says she hadn't even considered that her sexual orientation would be a problem with Father Marcel until she stepped forward to take communion.

"He said, 'I can not give you communion because you live with a woman,'" Barbara says.

Though shaken by Father Marcel's actions, Barbara says she tried to compose herself to give her mother the dignified funeral she deserved. So a few minutes later, Barbara began her eulogy.

"At which time Father Marcel left the altar and didn't return until I finished my eulogy," Barbara says.

D.C. archdiocese: Denying Communion to lesbian at funeral was against ‘policy’

Archdiocese of Washington sends apology to lesbian who was denied communion

Late Tuesday, Johnson received a letter of apology from the Rev. Barry Knestout, one of the archdiocese’s highest-ranking administrators, who said the lack of “kindness” she and her family received “is a cause of great concern and personal regret to me.”

“I am sorry that what should have been a celebration of your mother’s life, in light of her faith in Jesus Christ, was overshadowed by a lack of pastoral sensitivity,” Knestout wrote.

“I hope that healing and reconciliation with the Church might be possible for you and any others who were affected by this experience. In the meantime, I will offer Mass for the happy repose of your mother’s soul. May God bring you and your family comfort in your grief and hope in the Resurrection.”

Johnson called the letter “comforting” and said she greatly appreciates the apology. But, she added, “I will not be satisfied” until Guarnizo is removed.

POLITICS OVER THE EUCHARIST

Just as Fr. Marcel Guarnizo is put on administrative leave for political reasons the Archbishop of Washington gives the Eucharist to pro abortion politicians for political reasons.Also for political reasons Catholics do not want to discuss the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus.

When Fr. Marcel said ‘If a Quaker, a Lutheran or a Buddhist, desiring communion had introduced himself as such, before Mass, a priest would be obligated to withhold communion.’ he was using the ecclesiology (understanding of Church) of outside the church no salvation. This was the ecclesiology which Pope John Paul II used in Ecclesia di Eucarestia.

Those who are not baptized, or are baptized but are not living the Gospel according to the Catholic Church are in grave sin. They are not to receive the Eucharist. St. Paul tells us that those who receive the Eucharist in this unworthy state bring damnation upon them self.

No non Catholic has the ‘right’ to receive the Eucharist .Not because he is condemned already but because he has the opportunity to convert into the Catholic Church and receive the Sacraments which save. Jesus saves through the Sacraments.

Outside the Sacraments there is no known salvation in the present time.

For political reasons the Archdiocese of Washington has not announced that the Buddhist lesbian woman will not be able to receive the Eucharist. If she does come to receive the Eucharist during Mass in Washington a priest or Eucharistic Minister will give her the Eucharist. She will receive the Eucharist even though she has not rectified the scandal in public i.e. she has not denied that she is a Buddhist and is a practising, active lesbian living in sin. She needs to make the public clarification and go also for Confession, before receiving the Eucharist.

The Archdiocese of Washington is not likely to make this announcement. Senator Kennedy never made any such clarification. Neither did the Archdiocese clarify any change in his position on abortion. Neither did the Archdiocese of Boston mention that the Senator received absolution before his death. He was given the Eucharist in Washington and a funeral in Boston. According to the teachings of the Church and the public scandal of which he was a part of, he was oriented to Hell at the time of death.

The priority is politics and then the Eucharist.The Archdiocese of Boston like Washington would welcome lesbians and homosexuals receiving the Eucharist at Mass. The Vatican cannot apply Canon 915 against the cardinals. Would there be a schism if this done even in the interest of the Eucharist? The Vatican has not issued a clarification on this issue of the Eucharist in Washington.A Deacon of the Archdiocese of Washington will not discuss the issue of extra ecclesiam nulla salus with reference to the Eucharist. Probably if he does, they’ll suspend him too.

In the media, Catholic and secular, we are getting a canned, politically safe version of the Catholic Faith and sadly it is being extended to the Eucharist.

According to Vatican Council II (AG 7, LG 14) non Catholics are oriented to Hell and if they are all oriented to Hell then they are not to receive the Eucharist.

Jesus watches from the tabernacle. At night he is alone in most churches in Washington, if not all the churches. He watches and he knows. He feels.He is left there abandoned and now they are abandoning church teachings. They are allowing sacrilege and sin for the sake of convenience, expedience and politics.The Mass is not just a sacrifice for Jesus, an unbloody Sacrifice, it is a source of pain in so many ways.

I have to comment on the Diocese saying that "it is against policy." hummm.... is this a business place or the Church?
StCatherine
And the greatest sin is disobedience to God. Those who are in disobedience cannot teach obedience since their sins accuses them, they cannot judge with the right judgment. Friends with the world are enemies of God. Says the Spirit of the Lord.

Aaron,
I am sure CNN had a field day. A priest is deflocked for doing what the Church teaches. Some people think that the Church belongs to them. they want to show that they are powerful and can do whatever they want in the Church, as long as they get applause from the world.
StCatherine
I hope Fr. in his humility know that he is to be counted among the sheep and not the wolves. Maybe our Lord is removing His people from among the wolves. Amen

This story made CNN. Unfortunately as any Catholic knows CNN is Satan's tool.

The Bible makes it very clear what God thinks of those who reject the truth, or who denies that he is a sinner: "He who saith that he knoweth Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." (Jn 2:4)
"Them that sin reprove before all: that the rest also have fear" (1Tim 5:20)

Why did you make a point of going to Communion after he told you not to knowing you would probably be refused? Who turned this into a media event and a witch hunt to end the ministry of a good priest?

I really do believe that we are called to be Like God. "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.: 1 John 4:8. The question in all of this is What is loving? I think the only person who can answer that is God.

It is also loving for a priest to be PASTORAL. Why didn't he, before Mass, talk to that woman and tell her, "by what you told me I cannot give you communion." To public humiliate her is not loving.
I do believe it should always be LOVE before simply be RIGHT.

"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

If Barbara, a former Catholic school teacher, hadn't considered that her orientation might be problem, I'm glad she is no longer teaching.

One can understand how the story played out at the time and perhaps things could have been handled better. Who knows?
What is inexcusable is how quickly the Archdiocese caved and sided with the lesbian instead of this priest. That's B.S.

If this is the case that the woman introduced her 'lover' to the priest just before the funeral...certainly appears as I stated below...These libs know whose who in the clergy, and they can't stand a priest who is going to stand ground with church teaching.

That's where we Catholics need to defend these priests rather than allowing the libs to outnumber and outpower catholics who are craving to have priests like these. Heaven knows we need them!

According to one report the woman in question introduced a woman as being her “lover” to the priest just before the Mass. Yet, the Washington Archdiocese caved to political correctness and to the fallout that would result from militant sodomites after their being dissed.

Fr. Marcel Guarnizo should be appointed bishop because of his courage and his wiliness to defend the Body of Christ from sacrilege. Instead, Donna Wuerl, speaking through one of his bootlicks, threw Fr. Guarnizo under the bus. Yet another example of the lavender mafia and its power within the Catholic Church.
