Gays and the Eucharist

Last summer when I was at a gay Catholic conference, and attendees were commiserating about how they were prodigal sons not welcome at the table, and couldn't help but ask the question that was the elephant in the room: why stay Catholic?

Man after man said the same thing: the Eucharist. The Episcopals don't have it, the Lutherans don't, none of the liberal denominations even pretend to have it.

My conservative friends might be quick to eject the gays from the assembly, seeing them as imposters, deviants, and seditionists. But I have to say what I saw was sincerity.

What do you mean by "sincerity?"
