Bill O’Reilly and other right-wingnuts are in a lather because the Archbishop of San Francisco gave communication to two members of the Sister of Perpetual Indulgence. In its coverage, the Chronicle interviewed a local theologian, who pointed out that you don’t deny the sacrament to those who ask for it, unless they’ve been excommunicated, adding:

While I can see Bill O’Reilly and others might be offended, the sisters do not meet the criteria the church has for denying Communion. Over-accessorizing and poor taste in makeup is not an excommunicable offense.
Not to mention that the Sisters practice what others only preach—and I’m talking about you, Bill.

I may not always agree with the Jesuits, but I do respect priests who are not only smart, but have a sense of humor.
