The B.C. Catholic has a story from Catholic News Agency about a priest who has been removed from ministering in the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. Father Marcel Guarnizo had received national attention earlier this year for denying a lesbian Communion:

“Father Marcel Guarnizo is a priest of the Archdiocese of Moscow, Russia, who was given a temporary assignment at St. John Neumann Parish,” archdiocesan communcations director Chieko Noguchi Scheve said in a statement provided to CNA July 10.  

“That assignment period has ended and Father Guarnizo is no longer in ministry in the Archdiocese of Washington,” Scheve wrote.
