What should we do if someone is denied communion?

13. I propose a sub-version of Godwin's Law: "As an on-line discussion involving the Catholic

Church grows longer, the odds that someone will be accused of being a non-Catholic and/or enemy of the Church approaches 1."

What is fascinating about this case is how quickly those defending Rev. Guarnizo have risen to condemn the Cardinal Archbishop of Washington , D.C. :

Father Guarnizo's Faculties Suspended - Time To Take Action
Today, at the 9:30 Mass at St John Neumann parish, Father LaHood read a letter from Bishop Barry Knestout announcing the suspension of Father Marcel Guarnizo's priestly faculties. Did I say the letter was penned by Bishop Knestout? Let's not kid ourselves! This letter came straight from the top - Cardinal Wuerl. I'll bet my bottom dollar that all Bishop Knestout did was change the wording slightly (so that he could call the letter "his" with a straight face) and sign the thing. I really don't think he's to blame, as he is vowed to obedience, as is Father LaHood bound to obedience in reading this thing with the introductory comments. I recorded it so you can listen to the entire thing right here.
