So Melania is “impaired” in the eyes of the church, and cannot take communion. Yet Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and millions of other practicing Catholics strongly support abortion, and proudly enable Planned Parenthood in its killing, but are not impaired and can take communion. Archbishop Gregory, a leader in the church, deliberately and publicly lies yet is not impaired and gives communion.
Undoubtedly Dr. Gregory can reconcile all of the above with the teachings of Jesus Christ who proudly consorted with sinners and offered them a door into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Regardless of what the Bishop states, the Canon Law states that anyone who successfully assists in the procuration of a direct abortion incurs a latae sententiae excommunication. That could certainly include promoting abortion in legislation. (the act itself does the excommunicating). Pelosi, Biden, the Kennedy clan, elected officials named Cuomo, etc. Those who have not formally caused abortion through law would still likely be in a state of Mortal Sin for persistent adherence to and promotion of a grave, grave sin (e.g. Chris Cuomo).
