Woman claims Catholic church denied communion because of rainbow masks

A group of Catholic women claims they were denied Communion at an Englewood church for wearing rainbow-colored face masks.

Sally Odenheimer said it was an effort to show support for Maggie Barton, an LGBTQ teacher fired from the church’s affiliated Catholic school.

Barton claims she was fired from All Souls Catholic School in Englewood after the Archdiocese of Denver learned of her same-sex relationship.

[Bishops repeatedly warn about stunts like this during Mass. This clearly was intended as a protest rather than an honest approach to commune with the Lord. The priest correctly refused to allow these women to turn a Mass into performance art. This came up several years ago in St. Paul, MN too, with the same result. — Ed]
