WILL CARDINAL GEORGE DENY BISHOP PILLA HOLY COMMUNION
From Bishop Pilla's website:

We wonder if Cardinal George has ever visited Bishop Pilla's website and seen Bishop Pilla's "Index of /gayandlesbianfamilyministry/images."
If so, Cardinal George will see that Bishop Pilla not only flies the Rainbow Gay Pride Flag or Sash on his website, but that bishop Pilla also has such Gay Pride symbols as Pink Triangles, headless Rainbow doves descending into Hell, and spinning Rainbow balls. You will have to contact Bishop Pilla directly to find out what that last one means.
Why should Cardinal George care? Well look at his most recent actions against other pseudo-Catholics sporting Gay Pride spirit wear:
From Diogenes at the Catholic World News blog, http://www.cwnews.com/offtherecord/offtherecord.cfm :
Gay Catholics are planning to make Pentecost Sunday into an agit-prop fest by presenting themselves for communion wearing rainbow sashes. Chicago's Cardinal George has instructed his priests to refuse them, and his reasoning is on target (thanks to Otto-da-Fe for the link):
This of course raises an interesting question. If wearing the rainbow sash "indicates disagreement with church teaching," what then does it mean if a Catholic Bishop flies the Gay Pride Rainbow Sash on his website.
When you visit the Diocese of Cleveland website for gays and homosexuals, you are greeted by numerous gay pride symbols. The index for these images can be found by following this link:

Tthe cardinal wrote that wearing the sash indicates disagreement with church teaching that gay ual relations are sinful, and therefore those who wear the sash should not receive communion.
"The Rainbow Sash movement wants its members to be fully accepted in the Church not on the same conditions as any Catholic, but precisely as gay," the cardinal wrote. "With this comes the requirement that the Church change her moral teaching which is from the Lord and his Apostles."
This of course raises an interesting question. If wearing the rainbow sash "indicates disagreement with church teaching," what then does it mean if a Catholic Bishop flies the Gay Pride Rainbow Sash on his website.
