It is the "Go and sin no more" part that the Liberals always leave out.

Is Cardinal Arinze on the short list of candidates to succeed John Paul II?

The "debate" is not ended since virtually all US bishops do not and will not refuse communion to baby-killing politicians.

The bishops do not accept the authority of Rome over things below the navel, and Rome is unwilling to declare them in schism.

Even though I'm a non-Catholic I stand in solidarity with true Catholics all around the world.

Makes me glad to have been born and raised a Catholic. Glad to see a leader with some 'nads for a change!

Me too. About time the church stood up for something. This fellow would make a good pope.

>> Do you need any Cardinal from the Vatican to answer that

I don't trust him. I came across him at a Catholic conference in Philly about 10 years ago and asked him about pro-abortion politicians.

He hemmed and hawed and basically gave a flimsy answer.

Has he changed his mind? I hope so, but he isn't the great disciplinarian everybody is looking for.

The Vatican Cardinal responded, “No, no. You see, let's get it clear. These rainbow sash people, are they really saying we are homosexuals, we intend to remain so and we want to receive Holy Communion. The question arises; take the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It says it is not condemning a person for having homosexual tendency. We don't condemn anybody for that. But a person stands condemned for acting on it.”

Hey Cardinal, what about Bishop Pilla? He has the Rainbow Gay Pride Sash flying on his website!!!

Since the Vatican has said this, one question. If a known pro abortion politician or openly gay member comes to receive communion can the priest refuse them and tell them to go back to their pew? I am afraid that is going to be necessary many times before it sinks in that the Church is serious about the rules.
