Father Brian Sistare, the priest at Sacred Heart Parish in Woonsocket, responded during mass on Sunday to allegations that he told gay married congregants they could not receive communion unless they ended their marriages and that he is using his position with the church to campaign against proponents of same sex marriage.

After the service, I asked Sistare if he wanted to talk more about it. He declined, but said he felt it was inaccurate to suggest that he had denied gay married parishioners communion when he had simply told them they could not get communion until they were no longer married.
