I understand their anger



but I also understand the Church's position on this. I think it's an issue of Church officials being more bureacratic and not terribly pastoral in the way they interact with these people.

On the other hand, it gets tedious hearing people go on about their 'rights' regarding things that are really privileges. There are many times you don't have a right to receive the Eucharist in the Catholic Church. We've all forgotten about that, I think, with all our concern about 'rights'.

And so the Church loses more members...
