Update: MRH parish Removes Thank-you of transvestite from online bulletin

Instead of candidly admitting they were in error, or publishing a retraction/apology, the editors of the MHR parish website have simply tried to erase the online presence of the infamous 'thank you' emailed to the bulletin by one of the offending transvestite "sisters" and then published:

[LifeSiteNews:] The parish bulletin of Most Holy Redeemer church carried a message this weekend from the one of the gay activists behind the communion scandal thanking the parish for its continued support. The message from ('Sister') "Delta Goodhand" praises Archbishop George Niederauer for the "wonderful Mass" and the congregation for being "so welcoming". "It was great to be able to participate in the Mass."

The parish bulletin is approved in most Catholic churches by the pastor and cannot be distributed without his express approval. The message continued, "Afterwards, one of the parishioners offered us a blue "MHRC: An Inclusive Catholic Church" pin that I was proud to wear through the Castro Fair. You are a wonderfully inclusive church!"

After news broke on the bulletin yesterday, the parish removed the note from the online versions of the bulletin. Copies of the original and revised versions of the bulletin are available on LifeSiteNews.com [here].

Like LifeSiteNews, I saved copies of the PDF file of the bulletin as evidence should they try to remove it. It's not easy to reformat a PDF file. It's certainly more time consuming than deleting a section from an HTML page. So they went through some effort to expunge the offensive material.

I re-iterate what I said before about this:

Those responsible for the publication of this letter are guilty of providing a public forum for an individual named by the Archbishop as having "made a practice of mocking the Catholic Church in general and religious women in particular", of being "deeply offensive" and who have "mock[ed] what we hold sacred" and who have "place[d] themselves in an objective situation in which it is not appropriate for them to receive Holy Communion."

Therefore, because Abp. Niederauer has stated that it is "not appropriate ... for a minister of the Church to give the Sacrament to them [the Sisters]" so also it is completely inappropriate for an employee or Pastor of MHR parish to published an email from one of the "sisters" without any clarification, critique or disclaimer.

At minimum, the pastor should publish a retraction and apology as soon as possible. Get the word out.

Again, removing the 'thank you' from the online version is a start. But after everything that has come to light in the past week, it is pitifully little to make up for the growing catalogue of offenses one continues to read about.

The evidence at present leaves little doubt that the MHR parish has been running a loose ship for some time. It is thus not surprising that it is taking them awhile to redirect course, with many false steps. And I pray that do redirect course, for the good of the souls it has been commissioned to serve. Otherwise it is time for someone in authority to help them out.

As far as I can tell, AMDG deserves thanks for breaking this story, which I then covered at-length here.
