(AP) San Francisco’s top-ranking Catholic clergyman apologized for serving Communion to two men dressed as nuns during a church service in the heart of the city’s gay enclave.
In a letter posted on the archdiocese of San Francisco’s Web site, Archbishop George Niederauer said when he offered Communion to the two members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at the October 7 Mass, he didn’t recognize either as wearing ”mock religious garb.” He apologized for giving them the sacrament, calling it ”a mistake.”
