"While I accept that people may contain views on the proper expression of their sexual animation and identity which differ from the Church's teachings, I deeply regret that such people — who profess the Catholic faith — would choose to mount an ideological demonstration during Mass and especially at Communion time. This is inappropriate.
"Receiving the sacrament is the ultimate statement of our Catholic faith an intensely personal matter between communicant and priest.
"It's not a question of refusing homosexuals or someone who is homosexually oriented. The control is basically the same for everyone.
"If a person is actually engaged in — by public admission, at any given age — a perform contrary to Church teaching in a serious matter, then that person is not entitled to receive Holy Communion.

Q. Can a homosexual man develop an extraordinary minister of holy Communion in a Catholic church? (Albany, Modern York)
A. The answer is: It depends. If a person is engaged in an active, open lgbtq+ relationship, I believe that person should not be selected as an amazing minister of holy Communion. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, referencing the Scriptures, is clear in stating that homosexual acts are “disordered” and “contrary to the natural law” (No. 2357).
And “Redemptionis Sacramentum,” the 2004 instruction from the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, has stated that those chosen to assist at liturgical celebrations “must be those whose Christian life, morals and fidelity to the church’s magisterium recommend them” (No. 46).

But many people with a homosexual orientation are not active sexually and, as the Jesuit priest Father James Martin has pointed out in a 2018 article in America magazine, “the testimony of almost every psychiatrist and biologist”
Stances of Faiths on LGBTQ+ Issues: Roman Catholic Church
BACKGROUND
The Roman Catholic Church is the largest Christian denomination in the planet, with approximately 1.2 billion members across the globe. With its origins in the earliest days of Christianity, the Church traces its leadership––in the person of the Pope––to St. Peter, identified by Jesus as “the rock” on which the Church would be built.
The Catholic Church in the United States numbers over 70 million members, and is organized in 33 Provinces, each led by an archbishop. Each bishop answers directly to the Pope, not to an archbishop. Those Provinces are further divided into 195 dioceses, each led by a bishop. At the base of the organizational structure are local parishes, headed by a pastor, appointed by the local bishop. The Conference of Catholic Bishops in the United States meets semi-annually.
As part of a global corporation with its institutional center at the Vatican, the Catholic Church in America is shaped by worldwide societal and cultural trends. It is further shaped by leadership that is entirely male, with women excluded from the priesthood and thus from key leadership roles.

Should I get confirmed at a parish which allows openly homosexual couples to receive Communion?
Being confirmed at your church does not mean you accept their unorthodox practices. You are receiving a sacrament that does a holy function within you. Confirmation, fancy baptism, imprints a spiritual mark on your spirit, something you can acquire only once in your life (CCC 1317). It’s the sacrament that gives you the fullness of the Holy Spirit, increases and deepens baptismal grace, and incorporates you more firmly into Christ (CCC 1316).
The Catechism of the Catholic Church also says,
Every baptized person not yet confirmed can and should receive the sacrament of confirmation. Since baptism, verification, and Eucharist form a unity, it follows that “the faithful are obliged to receive this sacrament at the appropriate time,” for without confirmation and Eucharist, baptism is certainly valid and efficacious, but Christian initiation remains incomplete. (CCC 1306)
