35. That's really messed up and kinda goes against church teachings

OK in the church it is a sin to have sex without marriage. But the church still gives communion to teen moms. What's the diff?

Also, what happens to a Catholic family when they have a child who is LGBT? The parents aren't LGBT, but end up supporting their children. This will drive a wedge in Catholic families which is wrong. So the parents won't receive communion because they support their child? That is not right.

Or what about the parents of teen moms, should they no longer be offered communion because they are helping their daughter raise a child?
For parents of LGBT this is a similar type situation.

Yet, when a teen mom has a baby, the church is there to support the grandparents and the teen mom.

(I live in an area with a very high teen pregnancy rate.)

Good Gawd. This is wrong and goes against free speech.
