Cathedral of St. Paul

Rainbow Sash Alliance USA writes that the new archbishop, John Nienstedt, will be installed soon, perhaps before May 11. In the November 15, 2007 edition of the archdiocesan newspaper, The Catholic Spirit, Archbishop Nienstedt wrote:
Those who actively encourage or promote homosexual acts or such activity within a homosexual lifestyle formally cooperate in a grave evil and, if they do so knowingly and willingly, are guilty of mortal sin. They have broken communion with the church and are prohibited from receiving holy Communion until they have had a conversion of heart, expressed sorrow for their action, and received sacramental absolution from a priest.
Rainbow Sash Alliance USA and the GLBT community in the Twin Cities responded to this comment by staging a peaceful, prayerful protest, that included a “die-in,” on the steps of The Cathedral of St. Paul on December 2, 2007. They are inviting all GLBT Catholics, their families, and their friends to wear the Rainbow Sash at The Cathedral of St. Paul on May 11, 2008. As in years past, meet at 11:30 a.m. to organize followed by 12:00 noon Mass at the Cathedral. Organizing will be on the Selby Ave. side of the cathedral. Rainbow Sash Alliance USA will provide the sashes for folks to wear.
For more information, please contact Rainbow Sash Alliance USA.
