text: Notice that the offense here is not the participation in homosexual acts.  The offense is essentially holding up a middle finger to the Church in public and saying, "I refuse to comply with the teachings of the Church or to acknowledge my sinfulness.  Now, give me my sacrament."  
  
  Seriously, do you think the Church should be bullied into providing a Catholic ritual to   someone who does that?  Heck, lots of people who commit far less offensive acts (e.g., many Protestants) are denied Catholic rituals.
