American prelates rebuke 'pro-choice' Catholics

Abortion and Euthanasia
Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE)	Catholic politician who votes for abortion in contradiction to Church teachings. One of American Life League's "Deadly Dozen."

This is good to see.

Yes, very good to see. It’s taken a long time. I really do believe that since this is getting coverage from sources like Newsweek, LATimes, etc. that it has become one of the major issues.

The dims don’t want to talk about it.

McCain has talked to bishops and is challenging Obama et al on the issue of life beginning at conception. God bless him!

BTW, all those links are only from FR! Can you believe it?

Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark.

Glad to hear that the bishops are doing their job. I know it’s not my place to say, but I think it’s time to start excommunicating a few of these unrepentent heretics.

anybody know what her bishop has to say?

Yes, in the list above --

Actually these pols as well as anyone who supports abortion by voting for them DO EXCOMMUNICATE themselves. They cannot be communicated unless the go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, repent and promise to amend/change their ways. (Are you kidding?? Think a dim would do that??) LOL!

Here's the info from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (since you asked.)

Just curious. What percentage of US catholics are democrat? How can they reconcile the dem platform with their religion?

Thanx. Looks like they have her surrounded.

I am a pretty devout Catholic. My wife and I go to church 6 days a week. I am really furious at the Catholic heirarchy. They ignored the homosexual (not pedophilia) scandal until they get ripped and now THEY ARE ALL TALK. If they believe what they are saying EXCOMMUNICATE these people. The problem is they do not have have the courage of their convictions. Although some say they have excommunicated themselves (I’m not certain about that but it is not worth arguing about), lets demand the heirarchy stands up.

Yay!!! Thanks be to God!

Yes, I am surprised that life has come to the forefront in this election. The fact that obama is an absolute radical on abortion and pelosi’s statements have more than a few folks debating whether the dem party is who they want in charge.

How does Boston weigh in?

I’m not a numbers person, but there is a map on the Religion Forum. Forget the thread it’s on. It was actually from 2004. There were lots of threads about Bush and Catholics, so you might do a search.

You saw this, correct?

So are you asking about excommunicating the gays who are not celibate?

My cousin actually sent me Pelosi’s statement on “Meet the Press” and I did n’t believe it; neither that Brokaw would pose such a question, nor that her response would be so over the top.

Pelosi doesn’t do this stuff by accident and she doesn’t drop out platitudes for the press. She is actually and actively instructing younger generations of Catholic voters that they are either misinformed on the Church’s teachings or that they may simply disregard the Church instruction. She is easily the most arrogant pro-abort Catholic politician. Her statements are very dangerous and misleading.

Good for Bishop Chaput. I hope the Bishops continue to take these opportunities to instruct the faithful.
