And the Catholic hierarchy doesn't listen. As more of the faithful are scandalized, and fall away. Our bishop in Tucson is more interested in encouraging illegal immigrants to cross the border.

"In other words, for the Catholic politician to receive Communion when he or she has publicly violated the moral law in a grave matter like procured abortion risks leading others into thinking that they can accept procured abortion with a right conscience. In such a case, if the Catholic politician does not recognize the lack of the proper disposition to receive Communion, then the church herself must refuse the sacrament, in order to safeguard the worthy reception of the sacrament and to prevent a serious scandal among the faithful."
