- The priest called the judge, who has been married to her wife for three years, to tell her that she should not come forward for Communion at the church she was baptized in. (Nov. 27, 2019)
God bless this young priest. May he continue to grow in faith and fortitude.
May he wake up to reality some day. No god.

If she is Catholic then she should know it's man and a women who marry. She didn't get married in Catholic Church . Her money won't save her soul.
Exactly. You are either Catholic or you're not.
Funny how many still think the crusaders were really catholic when they got into cannibalism
@@Fundemons
Probably because you never read up on what Catholics actually say on the subject.
I know what they say n it was still an ideological war
Fundemons Where do these ideas originate? The United States Of America was founded on Protestant Christianity and since the beginning, her children have been publicly educated with extremely biased antiCatholic textbooks and programmed to believe a plethora of lies about world history and, in particular, falsehoods of the teachings and practices of Catholicism. I suggest you look into some recent scholarly research on the Crusades. Seven Lies About Catholic History, copyright 2010, by Diane Moczar, is a good place to start.
You CANNOT be a "good and faithful Christian" when you continue to commit sin and do not repent
Karl Brady
Your Karl have nailed it.
Even if.she received it from another church it won't be valid. It's more off guilt from her. Is she willing to repent to ask God to help her out off her sin which he will if she is willing to let go.. God does love her yes but what she is . The choice is hers Her money is nothing It can't buy God's law. The priest is correct ..
U cannot stand before God an say u are good an perfect no matter how much u repent .He will laugh at U ..
As a lifelong Catholic, she knew the laws of the Church when she married her partner. She has no right to demand the Church conform to her wants.
If she calls herself a true Catholic Christian then she would know the Catechism of the Catholic faith. By marrying another woman she has spat in Jesus face by desecrating Him, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
Fr Nolan had every right to stop her from receiving the Eucharistic but he would have gladly given her a blessing if she approached the Altar in the correct many.
Does she seriously think because she donated money to the Church that it purchases graces from God because she's a judge.
Wendy Jansen she’s not a Catholic. She’s a heretic that should be burnt at the stake.
Amen Steven!
Steven Hall I agree with u it’s sad
@@johnsanderson622 wow calm down. Yes she is in a state sin and in a state of mortal sin and should be denied the Eucharist, but she should repent and convert not be killed. If you kill someone that is in a state of mortal sin you are denying them the chance to change.
I stand by this priest. He did as he should’ve done. Great faith and teacher Father. She needs to take responsibility for her actions.
Gabby Street ooohhh the bossy preacher goes bossing people round, n it maketh him a great hero? Why don’t he call up masturbators, porn viewers, mouthy children, people who wear different fabrics, and eat shellfish n tell them not to get communion? Or better yet this priest should be callin all those boy fondlers and tell them not to take communion.
@@Fundemons What is your point? That Catholicism isnt true because some Catholics sinned? If being petfect is the criteria for being Christian then we all fail. As for the pedophiles i agree. They should be put under the jail as far as I'm concerned never to see the light of day again. As Catholics we do believe you should have no mortal sin on you while receiving the Eucharist. St Paul says, those of you who eat and drink the body and blood of Jesus Christ unworthely eat and drink damnation upon themselves
Peter cho, you. Do know that every culture had it’s destroyed city fable, including yours, blue sodom n Gomorrah was about gang rape and inhospitable behavior
Fundemons When people sin and repent and are trying to change their behavior they can receive Communion. When someone who lives publicly in a way which is contrary to church teaching it appears they aren’t trying to change their behavior. It is obvious to everybody, not something the priest learned privately in Confession. However, even then, the priest counseled her privately that she shouldn’t come forward for Communion. She should already have known that! It was her choice to go public. The fact that she previously contributed to the building fund is not relevant to whether she should receive Communion.
Fundemons You really believe a city was destroyed because of lack of hospitality?! The men of the city only wanted the male visitors, not Lot’s female daughters. Doesn’t that give you a clue what the story is teaching?
We the Catholics stand with this faithful priest of Christ.. God bless you Father..
He is following Catholic doctrine. The judge may claim to be Catholic but she is not following doctrine.
So true, she is a judge and that is a problem, judges want to make their own laws.
@@boweevil6442 It's not a sin to be a border patrol agent just as its not a sin for her to be a judge. Her lifestyle choice is a sin and contrary to Catholic Church doctrine.
@@boweevil6442 That's a stretch.
she clearly misunderstands that the Church is not the single church building she donated money to.
Also pretty sure you’re not meant to get on the old megaphone, preaching about how much money you’ve donated.
Ideally in private etc..
She is full of her selfish self.
@Big Wheel But what about buying a Stairway to Heaven?
The church is not a democracry, the people dont vote on what is right and wrong the church reflects what God / Jesus taught us. If you rebel against fundamental church teachings there are 3 options. Repent, attend church and do not receive Eucharist. the last option isnt ideal but if you can not accept the truth then go to a flawed protestant church which accepts people who defy Catholic teachings
If I were the bishop, I would ask her to come in and ask her what does God say marriage is. It is clear. Marriage is between one man and one woman. We knew when they were pushing to redefine marriage because they were saying, “all we want is the right to marry who we love”. We knew it was only a matter of time when they would be demanding more. That is sin. If you give an inch they will take a mile. If the Bishop could not get her to repent and turn away from scripturally what distances us from God, I would give her money back. Tell her to go to a church that promotes gay marriage if she wants to feel better. We cannot change God’s teaching. She has a title of judge. That is truly sad.
Jesus described marriage when asked about divorce, Jesus said, a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife. That is marriage. Shame on other priests who ignore what Jesus has said about marriage.
Amen
Stand strong Father Nolan! Your faith in the Lord is light to the faithful. We need you. May God bless you.
AMEN
z z just another nonCatholic who is ignorant of the scriptures and orthodox Christianity. I reckon you need some learnin’. We call our priests father because they are our spiritual fathers, through Jesus Christ, giving new birth by baptism, through Jesus Christ. Read the scriptures. Paul called himself a father to the communities he founded and to individuals like Timothy. The Bible also calls Abraham our father in the faith. It is very scriptural to call Catholic priests father.
I C does this apply to Tibetan monks?
@I C Chastity is a great sacrifice and is not for everyone, but for those who freely follow the call to consecrated life the obligation of practicing chastity in celibacy for the sake of the Kingdom. In my opinion, to practice chastity in celibacy is more difficult than to be martyred, and is a greater witness to Christ.
Tuyen Pham exactly. Hence why monks are also celibate.
I have a better title for this news story.
A Catholic Priest stands on his church’s beliefs.
Well said. Priest doesn't follow a scam church
St John Vianney pray for and protect this Priest
Perfectly said, Erix.
Yes, just imagine! And I'm astonished his bishop backed him up! Guess the USCCB will have to retaliate v him, right?
"Church's" .....:-)
You do not “take” the Eucharist, you receive the Holy Eucharist...
Unrepentant notorious sinners like Biden should not be given Holy Communion PERIOD
@@carolynkimberly4021 WOW! That does NOT appear to be Christian statement!
@@ritaobrien9093 It's a Catholic statement. Biden should go to a Protestant service. They don't have the Body and Blood of Christ so there would be no sacrilege, no scandal, and Biden would not be damning himself like he is now.
@@carolynkimberly4021 I humbly disagree. Using the Eucharist in this way is divisive, uncaring and unChristian! As Pope Francis said, "Who are we tojudge?"
@@ritaobrien9093 You sound as uncatholic as our present pope.
There are no “two sides” to the story. One is either Catholic or not. Simple.
On point.
Ipse Dixit This has nothing to do with sides. This has to do with the truth and the laws of God. God specifically speaks in scripture regarding the abomination of a man laying with a man or a woman laying with a woman or an animal laying with a man or woman. These are not my laws these are the laws of God and if you do not like it you do not have to participate in the Catholic church teachings. You can go to some other church.
@@francisgilson4429 there is still two sides.....
Koding Krusader - When it relates to our Lord Jesus Christ there’s no such thing as sides it is either you believe in the Lord’s truth or you don’t. Canon law, natural law, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Saint Augustine and the holy Bible all discusses sin and what our Lord God tells us about sin and what is an abomination.
@@francisgilson4429 yes. And theres either the side of jesus or the side of sin. Im really not sure whats so difficult to understand here? 1 side good 1 side evil. Its been a choice since day 1 of Adam and Eve. They chose the side of evil
Father I support you in this, I am a Roman Catholic retired Priest and would do the same thing as you did. She is living in the state of Mortal Sin, according to Canon Law, and should not present her self for Communion. I hope your Bishop is supporting you in this. Canon Fr. Bob Bartholomew+
Good there are priests like you, please pray that God will raise up more that love Him.
So no one who commits a venal sin can get communion? And a narcissistic priest is going to determine who gets and doesn't get communion? Doesn't sound Christ-like to me.
ONE TWO
Venial sin??
The judge is in MORTAL sin. Do you know the difference?
Are you even Catholic?
Thank you Fr. for defending your brother and your sheep.
According to Canon Law, You can make a good act of contrition for the forgiveness of Venal sins, and they are forgiven. Only Mortal sins have to be confessed, to a priest. Fr. Canon Bob Bartholomew+ CHS
Priests should also deny communion to politicians who support abortion (the killing of innocent human life) as well.
+Bll Martin Exactly what happened to Biden for his stance on abortion yet he still chose to campaign in front of a screen showing a Catholic Altar and Tabernacle.
Yes! We need strong shepherds like Fr. Nolan to stand up against those who make a mockery of our faith with their duplicity. As public figures, politicians have a great responsibility, but they fail miserably when they say they’re Catholic and don’t uphold the tenants of our faith. They’re Catholic only in name (COINs).
Like Trump who has killed million of Americans of covid 19
@@sirenorebello817 1. President Trump is not a Catholic; 2. One million Americans have not died of covid; and 3.

I salute your courage Father. Isaiah 58 vs 1. The Lord said cry aloud like a trumpet, tell my people their transgression and house of Jacob their sins. Sodom and Gomoroh was destroyed because of this sin. Bravo Father. Defend our faith and protect the body of Christ from being desecrated.
This priest should be commended. One Priest who isn’t a joke.

Very courageous young priest!

@@misselder1 do you know if the student popultion increased for this year on that school, Sandra? Thanks.
She's living openly against the teachings of the Church started by Jesus so this priest was 100% correct in denying her Holy Communion. I don't know if the other priests that gave her Holy Communion were aware of her public lifestyle choice, but if they were they have done her a disservice and betrayed their oath to Our Lord.
sgzartan Jesus never said a word about homosexuality. But if one is to be consistent, then communion must be denied to anyone who disagrees with ANY teaching of the Church. To just single out certain teachings IS discrimination.
Not to mention the fact that many hierarchical officials globally have been much more tolerant of priests who abuse children. Not only have many never been denied communion, but their crimes have been kept secret, and these priests (a small percentage of all those serving as priests) have been routinely re-assigned to other parishes, other dioceses, even other countries, with no word of warning to parents, and even to any other priests serving in these parishes.
The hierarchy has yet to institute universal policies aimed at transparency in identifying those priests who have abused children to the members of the Church, and policies aimed at protecting children from abusive priests. Some bishops have taken action, but many have not.
To state that this is hypocritical is a huge understatement.
John Cronin Christ condemned sodomy.
Yes read the great controversy by Ellen g white or listen on youtube
@@johncronin9540 yes he did in the old testament it wad Jesus who spoke to Moses telling him it was an abomination for man to lay with man or beast watch the Isreal of the alps part 1,2,3 beautiful documentary also the great controversy by Ellen g white or listen on youtube
O K I don’t think that word “sodomy” means what you think it means. And what this woman is doing is NOTHING like what the people of Sodom wished to do with Lot’s visitors. They wanted to gang rape them. That is NOT remotely similar to the woman’s relationship.
Again, Jesus never said a single word about homosexuality. If you think otherwise, then cite the Gospel, chapter and verse. I DO recall his words and actions when a crowd brought forth a woman “caught in the act of adultery”. Strange thing is that no one else was brought forward, also accused. How does anyone commit adultery by themselves?
I trust you remember Jesus words “Let the one without sin cast the first stone.” (The punishment for adultery was usually, under Jewish practice, stoning). The crowd quickly melted away. And Jesus, in his mercy and forgiveness, refused to condemn her also. He simply said, “Go and sin no more” - words that we ALL as sinners should apply in our own lives.
And it’s important to note that the woman in this story was accused of adultery. That is in the Decalogue (The 10 Commandments). Homosexuality is NOT listed in the Decalogue. Homosexuality is actually rarely mentioned in the Bible, especially homosexuality as WE understand it today. Usually what is condemned is closer to the sexual abuse of a child or adolescent. That is what Paul was talking about when he mentioned it.
Catholic teaching about this is actually not based on Scripture, but on the rather nebulous idea of “natural law”. At that time (as the teaching was developed), homosexuality was seen as being “unnatural”. But there is one rather large problem with that. Homosexual behavior exists widely in nature. It’s been observed in almost every mammal species, and also among many species of birds. You can see this for yourself by searching that topic in Wikipedia. I was shocked when I first saw it, because it’s a very long and comprehensive list. So it exists widely in nature.
One thing that should be very clear is that no one chooses their sexual orientation. Because there have been many who would have chosen to be heterosexual, and not face the ostracism from their families, community, and faith tradition. And it’s not a good idea for someone who is homosexual to try to live as a heterosexual. Most of those marriages don’t end well, because they are built on a false foundation. So the question is why would God create a person (or any creature) with a homosexual orientation?
This Priest has some guts. We need every church authority to be like him!
Yes, we wouldn't be in this crisis!
Come to the Orthodox church and declare gay. You will be loved but strongly recommended to go to search for cure and actually there are monasteries offering heling. And it works. Communion? Well next to never unless you change your behavior and obey God law.
@@go72ko Of course we should love sinners but we Hate the Sin. We love you too Orthodox Catholic that is the reason why Our Lady of Fatima wants Russia to be consecrated to her Immaculate Heart by the Pope as directed by Heaven.

How is this news to the Judge? 😂 She’s playing dumb. She knows
True. Cause im sure she didnt marry in a catholic church or maybe she did...and those dear priests who give her Holy Communion, knowing her marital status, could have "blessed" the marriage.
Shes "playing "for public sympathy
Rainy Exactly, She wants to make it as public as possible to sic the whole gay lobby on true faithful Catholics! Sorry lady, you can’t have it both ways.
Its in the Bible! What dk they think God will say in JUDGEMENT DAY. I WAS,THE WOMAN AT THE,WELL...AND I REPENTED ABD ABANDONED MY SINS!
Rainy, you are being naive. Part of what has gotten the Catholic Church into the problem it is in today is adult Catholics turned into perpetual 5 year-olds and rejected the reality people are wicked enough to *conspire.* This woman is *likely* involved with others in an orchestrated plan to infiltrate and break the Church *from within.* I'm not even a practicing Catholic and I can see this.
Good to hear that there is still a priest who stand by the real church teaching.
Bravo👍🏼
Amen. I'm a protestant, and don't get served Communion when I attend a Catholic church. This lady needs to get over herself. I don't make a fuss about it, because it's their rules, and I understand that when I GO there. She just needs to go somewhere else. No big deal. It proves she has ulterior motives, and it's NOT about the "Communion" at all. She wants attention and to further an agenda about lgbtqxyz.

Ned Flanders I totally agree! We’re living in a time where people do not want to hear the word NO! People misinterpret accountability for judgement.
no
Ned Flanders Ah yes, because people can just control their sexuality.
@@nestoons4539 Being gay isn't a sin, and the Catholic church does not teach it is a sin, not at all. Your sexuality is not a sin. It is actions that are sinful. To partake in disordered sexual acts outside the bonds of a holy marriage is cause for mortal sin, regardless of your sexuality. This woman is living in mortal sin through her choices and actions, not her sexuality. That is why she is being denied communion - not because she is gay, but because she has openly denied God's teaching through her words and actions. To give the eucharist to ANYONE in mortal sin is one of the worst things a priest can do, but also to take the eucharist while in mortal sin is one of the worst things WE can do. The priest is acting out of charity for this woman's soul by denying her the eucharist in her state.
Nestoons people can control whether they receive or not
God bless you Father for defending the Truth. The judge should know this.
I think she knows this very well in her heart.. but maybe thinks this rule/law doesn’t apply to her.. this earthly judge will have to stand before her Creator judge one day to answer for this.. she’ll see then.. there will be no denying the truth then..
Only one judge matters
This judge does know it and thinks she is above reproach.. I agree with this priest... Amen to this Holy and Faithful Servant.. God is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever.. Amen.

We participated in it unknowingly because we do not stop offending Him.
Our Lady said the cup is not only full but overflowing!!!
That judge chose not to be Catholic when she "married" another woman. The sacraments of the Church are for Catholics IN COMMUNION with the Church...not for those out of communion with the Church. This priest is a hero in my book! Well done, Father!
He is a hero, indeed!
Praying for you, Father. I wish there are more priests like you and a few others who never compromise the truth...
Cantori Guy Not all who say Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of God. Good for you Fr. we need more priests like you.
To truly be an authentic Catholic, you must stand apart and stand for truth. We need more priests like Fr. Nolan. God bless him abundantly!
If he gave her the eucharist he would have desecrated the body of our Lord, no Catholic priest on earth would give her communion.
Yes they would. Priests shouldn't but many would. You know the pope would
She said they did.
Like some other person commented the other priest might not know her and her lifestyle.
Yes, he would be committing a mortal sin if he offered her the Host. She should have known better than to try and desecrate the Eucharist!
there are priests in this diocese that do not believe in the true presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.
They told me so in person that they did not believe. The priests also make fun of me, when I knelt received Jesus in Holy Communion.
The bishop is well aware of fries to have Mistresses and homosexual lovers and they receive Holy Communion every time they consecrate the bread and wine at Mass.
Bishop Walkowiak needs to get rid of these priests who do not follow their vows of celibacy

Mary Reynolds
What Sin is she committing do you even know???
I was raised Catholic but am no longer a practicing Catholic. I am still a Christian, and while this is not a sin or violation against any of the Ten Commandments (as far as I know-but, could be wrong) the Bible is quite clear that GOD does not approve of it ("If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."). I applaud anyone who desires GOD in their life but changes in "life choices" sometimes have to be made in order to take that walk. In the video it mentioned that the judge was married, but I seriously doubt she was married in the Catholic Church which should have given her a clue that it was not accepted. She can change religions to another that may be accepting of her choice but the fact will remain that the BIBLE is very clear on the act/choice of homosexuality.
Saint Michael defend Fr. Nolan in battle. It's not about money. The laws of God never change. Praying for you Fr. Nolan. God bless all involved

@@Pax336 If they have not repented,
that is true.
I was denied comunion for one year until I mended my life!.
And I just had to bow my head and obey!
.
I was 29, (1990) married by law, only, to the father of my 2 kids. In my country we get married by civil law and in a church. I was only married by law. My confessor told me "marry him in a church or leave him". I was not ready to do any of that. I was honest and I told him so and he responded:"So i can not absolve you. If, in a year you come and tell me you did not see him anymore (PURPOSE OF AMMENDMENT),, then I will absolve you and you can take comunion. You have to decide who is more important for you!".
You would say he was too severe. And you will be right and I rebeled against him in my mind but still obeyed him. I didnt approach to comunion.. but he was right. Within a couple of months I fell in the same sin with the father of my kids. I have to give it to him: he was right! He knew more about human nature than me, silly and proud thing!.
.
So, yes, I had to mend my life before taking the body of my Lord! And I didn't make a scandal or tried to bring the church down because it would not bend to my caprice. There are other religions that are not that strict. If you want to be a Catholic, there is a price to be paid or not call yourself a Catholic, then!.
You are to be commended for humbling yourself and doing as the priest instructed. I know this wasn't easy for you.
I myself don't receive communion when I'm in mortal sin

That priest, Fr. Nolan, actually cares for her soul, more than he cares about public opinion or what is culturally fashionable. He is actually being a spiritual father to her, leading her to repentance. He stands as a hero in the faith, demonstrating great courage.
I agree! Well said...
I 100% agree. The priest's #1 job is the salvation of souls. Anyone who disagrees with this priest's action does not understand what the duties and serious responsibilities are of an ordained and faithful Catholic priest. It is on his watch that she needs to come to repentence before she can receive Holy Communion. Think of the words "Holy Communion". What does that mean Judge? Are you living a life of holiness? Are you living a life in full communion with the mystical body of Christ (the Church)? Appears to be the sin of scandal on public display, further endangering the souls of other faithful Catholics. It's a dominoe effect. Where does one draw the line if the faithful priest doesn't call her out to repent and to seek forgiveness and mercy?
Being gay is not culturally fashionable. It is how we are born. It is genetic.....it is how God made us. You cannot argue it is not or explain why Rome won't sanction it, yet you choose the side by reflex. That is YOUR task to change not ours.
@@will8026 With no intention to argue, just to remind U of what befell Sodom and Gomorrah over sodomy.

Exactly... well said!!!! Praise Jesus!!!
Jesus loves the sinners, but he said to the adulterous woman: Go and sin no more!
Yes Jesus did.
Yes he did and then she stopped sinning. This judge has not stopped sinning. Therefore she is not eligible to receive communion. When she takes herself to confession and makes an amendment of life to stop her life of sin she will be welcome back at Communion. And then there will be much rejoicing in heaven because one of God's Lambs has been redeemed.
We love sinners which is why we want them to repent and save themselves from eternal damnation.
Yeah but she was crying realizing her sins asking for forgiveness. If you don't realize your sin and not being able to repent how will it be forgiven? This woman is proud of her sin. and fighting against the word of God. what forgiveness? she is not asking for forgivenes...
Hate the Sin but love the sinners!!!
The priest is correct. People can not CHANGE the catholic religion.

Only Jesus can change it. Only the Founder/Owner can change it.

For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know Timothy’s proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

Beautiful World I’ve heard people call it “Jehovah”, “Elohim”, “Allah”, whatever. It’s all silly, Iron Age hate. Pure unadulterated hate.
Beautiful World I fully commend you for your scholarship in the Quran. But really that’s small potatoes, compared to Jehovah’s many exceptions to that “rule”, and who can forget his biggest hit on mankind, the Flood, or his follow-up performance when he killed the first born children in Egypt. I can almost give you the Jesus guy, but even he said (and his followers predictably use against just about anyone they hate) “I come not to bring peace, but a sword.” (Matt 10:34)
Therefore, I see them all as “imposters”, (your word, not mine) or more accurately expressions of mankind’s need to understand his place in the bigger scheme. There’s nothing wrong with it. I just think that when it comes to ethics, humanity and responsibility to our fellow man, we can do better than the Abrahamic religions of the Middle East.
Beautiful World You assume too much! My point is proven by your own historical truth. Your people were persecuted BY an Abrahamic religion, because of your own Abrahamic religion. To my way of thinking, that is abhorrent, barbaric and disgusting. But it is predictable due directly to the tribal “us” versus “them” dichotomy endemic in all 3 Abrahamic sects.
@Beautiful World God of abraham is YAHWEH (Jehovah) it's holy name who ever worship him are follows Abrahamic faith others are not YESHUVAH (Jesus) is YAHWEH himself word of YAHWEH in flesh. Yahweh is one true God

Matrimony comes from two Latin words, matris and munus, meaning the DUTY OF MOTHERHOOD. The very name indicates God's purpose in instituting marriage.

Enough proof that the church is still full of hope.
Well, she clearly has suffered from poor catechesis or she would not be so surprised by what this faithful priest did. For that, we should be sorry. But not sorry for denying her Holy Communion which is the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. She needs to face that she is living a lifestyle displeasing to the Lord. Hopefully, this will show her the way.
J. Williford minds well call and tell everyone who disobeyed their rules not to take communion. Just saying it’s stupid to pick one rule to enforce n not the other, unless the ole priest is using his job to hide in the closet. Just saying some doth protest too much

@@annettehempstead6845 Thank you.

The Priest is a hero. He's standing against evil and sin. I'm tired of evil winning all the time. The Judge is living in a state of DEEP mortal sin. Saying otherwise is not charity, it's false mercy and a lie. Also, she's not married - marriage is between one man and one woman. Period.
Were all Gods children. Love thy neighber.
If she isn't married, then she should be able to receive communion! PERIOD!
A loving relationship between two consenting adults isn't nearly as "evil" as abusing children, covering up the abuse, and letting the abusers get off scot-free.
Where does all the priest kid diddling fit in? Seems that's a big part of Catholicism.
Delilah Hart, I'm not a Catholic, yet I know that most of these scandals occurred post-Vatican II and Novus Ordo. When the church was heavily modernized and the clergy became packed with Jesuits and Masons. (From the 1960's and on.)

The Eucharist is not an opportunity for activism. Another point: who are the priests from whom this activist judge has been receiving the Eucharist from?
Good point. Those priests need to be asked whether they knew about her sin, and if so, why they gave her communion.
and why doesn't she just go to them then, instead of making a big stink about one priest who is following the rules.
Yes, she claims they KNOW her when they give her Communion. What a joke those priests are!
God bless this good and holy priest and may we have more like him.
GOD BLESS this priest for following CHRISTS LAW!!!!!
You are right Father Nolan. Give her back her money. She wants to buy off her sin.
Once she gave the $ to the church, it is No longer hers. And her using that as leverage is very sinful!

@@lucindabunda2106 some will say "then why does he need money?" and its not that he "needs" money, its that he knows what it means to us humans and the control it may sometimes have on our lives, so the notion of giving everything we have when we know it will be a risky move considering how much we need money in this world im pretty sure God sees your heart's intentions when making that kind of sacrifice.

Being a judge, Sara Smolenski should know that no one is above the law. The Church has law and no one is above this law. She said: "I tried to be a good and faithful servant to our Lord Jesus Christ,..." Well, well, well,... a good and faithful citizen upheld the law of the land; a good and faithful servant of the Lord honored the Lord's command. Mat 19:4-6, (4) He answered, "Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
(5) and said, `For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? (6) So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."

This wonderful priest is responsible for her soul and well being. Praise God that he loves her enough to tell her the truth. Just because she has accepted her sin as normal doesn’t mean he should confirm her in her sin. She is lucky that he loves her this much. Our priests are accountable to God and some priests have forgotten that. I will continue to pray for our faithful shepherds. 🙏🏻😇💪🏼
How is this even a story? Wow a Catholic priest stands by the teachings of the church. I guess that is Major news nowadays. Honestly we live in the Twilight Zone.
KMF my thoughts exactly
What is twilight zone? What is the significant to this? Just asking.
Lucinda Bunda I’m guessing you don’t know about the old television show called, The Twilight Zone? Watch a few episodes if you can. The premise of the show was to question reality.
To have a priest questioned for practicing the teachings of the Catholic faith shouldn’t be questioned in the first place, but our relativistic world has turned morality upside down.
@@dizzybusy1 it was intended for Father. You have no idea what is going on in the Church and our salvation depends on it. I am not a tv fan. I would rather read traditional Catholic books on how to defend the teachings of my religion and apply them for my salvation and to those who are open to truth. Why don't you read ""LITURGICAL REVOLUTION Pope Paul's New Mass """ 3 Vols. by Michael Davies so you know how the upper echelon of the Roman Catholic hierarchy hijacked and destroyed our TRADITIONAL CATHOLIC LATIN MASS OF THE ROMAN RITE AND BLEED IT TO DEATH. DEATH TO THE LAITY WHO BECAME RELIGIOUSLY ANEMIC TO OUR ONLY WAY OF SALVATION, OUR POSTERITY, OUR GOD GIVEN GIFTS IN ORDER TO BE SAVED.
I ONLY WISH GOODNESS TO GOD'S ALTER CHRISTUS AND TO MEN OF GOODWILL.
Lucinda Bunda You know nothing about me. I answered with lightheartedness, similar to the original comment about priests in question who are just doing their jobs. I am well aware of what is happening to our church and am deeply grieved by what is still occurring.
It’s admirable you know so much about our Catholic faith. I’m in full support of what Fr. Nolan did. We need more priests who preach and practice the truth about Catholicism.
Why is this woman even allowed to call herself catholic? She should be excommunicated.
Shaun Collins Before even continuing to express a desire to excommunicate someone you don’t even know, bear in mind that the hierarchy (and this came from the very top of that hierarchy) chose not to excommunicate Hitler, nor any members of the Nazi Party.
Now during this same period, if one was a member of the Communist Party, one was automatically excommunicated. But you could have joined the Fascists in Italy, or the Nazis in Germany and attend Mass and receive Communion. No automatic excommunication.
As a matter of fact, I don’t know of any priest who has abused children publicly denied communion. Indeed, for decades (and probably a lot longer), their crimes weren’t even made public, and they continued in ministry, despite multiple reports of victims. I live in the Boston Archdiocese, and we KNOW this was the case, as a judge ordered the Archdiocese to make its personnel files public. This pattern and policy didn’t just exist in Boston; we know it is global, and more and more is being uncovered. The entire hierarchy of bishops in Chile actually tendered their resignations to Pope Francis, who accepted many of those resignations.
And while abusive priests have been defrocked, they have never been denied the sacraments. This woman has not harmed anyone by who she is, and by her committed relationship with a mutually consenting adult partner. She is denied communion, but a priest (or ex-priest) who has caused significant harm to children is allowed to receive communion.
Do you seriously think that Jesus would approve of this hypocritical policy? He never said a single word about homosexuality, but he had a LOT to say about the hypocrisy of the hierarchy of his own faith tradition, Judaism.
I was interested to discover that St. Oscar Romero, the martyred Archbishop of San Salvador (in the nation of El Salvador), who was canonized by Pope Francis, never refused communion to ANY Salvadorans who were members of death squads, or who were known government officials who controlled those death squads, and thereby terrorized the people they were supposed to be serving. He very publicly pleaded with them to repent, but he did not deny them the Eucharist, probably because he had hope that receiving the sacrament might bring spiritual aid, and help them to repent of their sins. Sins that were FAR more serious than a homosexual couple getting married (in a civil, not religious) ceremony.
If you remember, Jesus violated taboos by knowingly entering the homes and visiting with known prostitutes, and other publicly known sinners. He didn’t deny them of his presence, but went into their homes to minister to them. And when reading the Gospels, we KNOW that this had a positive effect, and many, who were as publicly outcast as homosexuals are today, became Jesus’ disciples.
I’ve browsed many of the comments here, and there is a LOT of slipshod theology here, that exceeds even Catholic teaching regarding this issue. For instance, there is no sin in BEING homosexual in and of itself, though I admit that I disagree with the teaching that just having a homosexual orientation is a serious natural disorder. You might be surprised to discover that in the natural world, almost all species of mammals have been observed engaging in homosexual behavior. You can find a comprehensive list at Wikipedia. I was genuinely surprised when I discovered this.
But as far as Catholic moral theology goes, one is not sinning just by having a homosexual sexual orientation. Only homosexual ACTS are considered sinful, and even then, that depends on being fully aware and freely consenting. I doubt (though I don’t know, obviously) that this judge doesn’t believe she is violating her own conscience. Obviously, there will be disagreement over this, but there is no sin in BEING homosexual. It’s engaging in homosexual ACTS that is considered sinful. That’s official Church teaching.
I will say that she at least desires to live in a committed, monogamous relationship based on mutual love. That’s certainly preferable to a promiscuous lifestyle with many different partners.
Shaun Collins I bet she’s not even catholic
@@johncronin9540stop trying to justify her sin. Yes the Catholic Church has made many terrible mistakes but two wrongs don't make a right. Homosexuality was condemned by the apostle paul and in the old testament. So I suggest you repent of your wicked thinking.
Shaun Collins My wicked thinking? Do you know what triumphalism is? I suggest you look it up. I see a lot of it here. And it’s dangerous.
Do you understand what Paul was condemning? It wasn’t homosexuality as we understood it. It was a practice which was widely practiced in the ancient world. Many men, heterosexual men, used to mentor boys and adolescents. Rather like an apprenticeship. But many of these men were abusing their students. And Paul wasn’t the first to condemn the practice. 400 years prior, Plato addressed the issue in his writings. (That, by the way, was the origin of the term Platonic).
I suggest you watch the documentary “For The Bible Tells Me So.”
Shaun Collins Nobody has authority to excommunicate anyone. It’s a lie. I don’t approve of homosexuality, but EVERY person deserves a chance to repent until they are dead. Nobody has a right to condemn someone for their sins while they are still alive
The priest is right...I can understand her frustration but you cannot change what God teaches. This priest has done nothing wrong...¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Good for him. I’m glad there are good priests like him out there!
God loves us all, but He is a righteous judge and has an order to things. He's clear about sin.
Perfectly said♡
Christina Briggs
But most people are sinners and are still allowed to receive communion. God is supposed to be the judge, not us.
Add Bow If Girl so then where do you draw the line? Just let ANYONE take communion because everyone is a sinner? Many people sin in private and the priest doesn't know about those sins, he can give communion based on his knowledge since he's not a fortuneteller. But this judge is sinning openly and publicly and putting him in a bad position by demanding he go along with it despite his full knowledge. Do you see the difference here?
INatalkaI “Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.”

Are you actually Christian? Everyone is a sinner and this is known and understood in Christianity. So yes, everyone is supposed to be free to receive communion.

@Simon Botte I can't speak to other Christian denominations.
However us Catholics can only have one Catholic marriage (unless one partner in such a union died).
The Catholic church does not allow for divorce.
Also Catholics should have core, fundimental areas of faith that we wont change such as gay marriage.
Perhaps murderers and other sinners do go to for holy communion. Again if they have not been to confession and served their penance thats a grave mortal sin.
The priest if he is 'aware' of your sin he is duty bound to deny you holy communion.
@Simon Botte Again I repeat I am a Catholic. Further I don't have a say or stake in what any other religion belives or does not beleive.
There are many other sins some of which I am guilty of which are just as bad for instance anger. I could be better at managing that.
None of us is perfect and we are all flawed in someway.
However for you to say Catholic's only recognise homosexuality as a sin, is completly untrue. As I am a Catholic and I have just not only named another sin but have openly confessed to it.

Margy Rowland I do not think other priests give her communion if they know she is living in mortal sin. Satan is the father of lies. If she is evil enough to get the news involved in her scandal to bring backlash against the church, I do not trust her statement.

In the eyes of the Church homosexuality and the practice of it is gravely sinful and separates us from God.
The CONDITION of being homosexual in the eyes of the Church is NOT sinful. It is the SEXUAL PRACTICE that is SINFUL.
With all do respect, homosexuality is wrong, if it was okay, there would have been an Adam and Adam instead of Adam and Eve. If you choose to be homosexual than you must consider the consequences. I hope you have a great day :)

Whenever I am in a state of mortal sin, I consciously know that whenever I'm in the communion procession, I cannot receive communion. Instead, I receive a blessing from the minister of communion.
My parish has those who cannot receive communion, but are in the procession, put one hand over their heart as a sign (and a prompt for the minister of Holy Communion) that they cannot receive the Eucharist. Oftentimes they will receive a blessing instead
joseph jackson I thought Jesus died for our sins to be forgiven. John 3:3-8, 16.
Zinnia he did indeed, yet I have sinned in such a way that it breaks my communion with the body of Christ, the Church. Not excommunication, but committing a mortal sin (a sin of serious matter). St. Paul says that those who are unworthy of receiving communion should not receive it, and being in a state of mortal sin is grounds for being unworthy of the sacrament (a sacrament is the visible sign or assurance that God's invisible grace is given and received).
If I were to receive communion so as to show that I am in communion with the body of Christ, I would be causing scandal and lead people away from the faith who know of the things I have done. I would even be committing a scandal to myself since I know that I am not worthy to receive the Holy Eucharist in the state of mortal sin.
Yes we do this too.
