text: Welcoming all to the Eucharist is what Pope Francis encourages since it is a balm for the wounded, not a reward for the successful. Publicly dis-inviting the LGBT community to the Eucharist, as Bp Paprocki has done, tells everyone that being welcome is entirely a matter of the cleric's choice and caprice. Fr. Reese, in response, argued to be consistent dis-invite the divorced and re-married, those living together, those who do not practice charity, etc. Paprocki has done more to alienate the Catholic population than anything else he could have done. He has actually set-back the attempt, however modest, of Cd. Tobin in his speech to welcome all people where they are.
