SF Archbishop Uproar: Communion To Fake, Gay Nuns

The Archbishop of San Francisco has apologized for recently giving communion to members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence -- a San Francisco society of of gay, lesbian and transgendered activists who dress in drag as nuns to make a statement against the Catholic Church's stand against gays.

The communion incident was videotaped at a Sunday mass and clearly shows two people in bizarre makeup and colorful costumes - including one dressed in a parody of a nun's habit - receving the Eucharist wafer from Archbishop George H. Niederauer at Most Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in the Castro district earlier this month.
