Self-described "queer" priest Kevin McGovern presided over a Homosex-Eucharist in St Josephs, South Yarra, Melbourne on 9 February.

Fli.org.au reports that consecrated hosts were distributed from a flat plastic container lid. One host fell to the floor and was apparently trampled. [The article linked has a much more detailed version of this sacrilegious event. - The Catacombs]

The Homosex-Eucharist was advertised as an official event of Melbourne's 'LGBTIQ+ Midsumma Festival'.

The organiser was the homosexual propaganda group Acceptance, which last summer received congratulations from Pope Francis.

The priest repeatedly claimed that this Eucharist was a "safe" and "welcoming" space [except for the Eucharistic Lord] and that "we should all be friends".

From the above linked article on Family Life International (fli.org.au)

Quote:The low point of the Mass was the distribution of Holy Communion to the congregation, where multiple Eucharistic abuses could be witnessed. In his bid to make the Mass “welcoming”, the priest announced that he would administer the Blessed Sacrament to all baptised Christians (NOTE: not baptised Catholics)  who believe that the consecrated Bread is Jesus Christ. Please note that every single person who received Communion at this Mass was objectively in a state of mortal sin. That is, every Communion administered that evening, including that of the priest, was sacrilegious.

As he prepared for the distribution of Communion, the priest set aside consecrated hosts for an Extraordinary Minister, flouting the rubrics as he did so. All priests know that as a sign of honour for the true Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of the Lord, a ciborium or paten, preferably made of a precious metal, should be the vessel for holding consecrated hosts. However, that requirement was ignored at the “Pride” Mass: the priest placed Hosts for the EM on what appeared to be the flat plastic lid of the container which had held the unconsecrated wafers.

As could be imagined, it would be almost impossible to keep the small Hosts on this slippery, rimless lid and thus it was not surprising that a Host fell to the ground. This unfortunate abuse of the Lord’s Body was apparently unnoticed until the last communicant had moved away, meaning that It had potentially been trampled on by dozens of feet. The only reaction of the Extraordinary Minister was an embarrassed giggle before the priest casually stooped to retrieve the Host.

After Holy Communion came the final blessing, and the priest exhorted the congregation to ‘pray for the gift of pride’. The recessional hymn contained a blasphemous “queer” verse which the congregation was told is usually omitted from hymnals. A member of the choir announced that he had heard the hymn at a Uniting Church and had requested permission to use it at the Acceptance Mass. The words of the usually-prohibited verse run thus: “For queer and for straight, a place at the table / For trans and for gay, a welcoming place / A rainbow of race and of gender and colour / For queer and for straight, the chalice of grace.”
