Dutch Priest Obeys Canon 915

Father Luc Buyens of the Netherlands informed Gijs Vermeulen, an openly gay man, that he would be denied Holy Communion for flaunting his gay lifestyle.  Vermeulen was the "prince" for the local carnival; he was pictured with his gay partner and the description focused on their lifestyle.

Veumeulen was quite unhappy about that.  He stated that he'll be speaking with the parish counsel about the matter - to which I say "whoopie-doo!".  He further states that he was raised Catholic.  Hopefully this experience will help him rediscover the Catholicism that he abandoned.
