He never excused sinful behavior either.

If you look at the comments under the article of this incident in various places, many people bring up the "He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone" story from the New Testament. It never ceases to amaze me how many overlook the last part of that story. After Jesus told the woman that He did not condemn her, he told her to go her way and "sin no more."

Seems to me this woman in the article wants to take communion without making any changes in her life. In her mind, it's the church and it's beliefs who should change. Not her.
