Hunh! "According to the [church] legislation, they cannot partake in [some] #sacraments. This does not mean that it is closed."

Well, from my - admittedly sketchy - knowledge of sacraments, if you cannot take communion, then you cannot "celebrate" - fully - that #Jesus gave his life for your sins.

So, it DOES mean that some important parts of the #church and doctrine are forbidden to #LGBTQ...which negates much of the spiritual relief one needs to get from the faith.

"Geiler [had] ardent support among the laity of #Strasbourg. [Who] deeply resented clerical vice. The fact that the #clergy were so often... #corrupt mattered to them b/c w/out honest clergy,...souls might not be purified by the #sacraments...[And] if their souls ascended impure into the afterlife, they could...spend hundreds of years in #Purgatory...[and] might even be consigned to the everlasting torment of #Hell."
