“no wafer”, I could not even continue to read on after the title. Insulting.
Perhaps his campaign theme song should be “I Ain’t Got No Body.”
(Obscure transubstantiation joke.)
Ping!
lol
It seems strange that no one ever questions the status in the Church of Ted Kennedy or John Kerry. Guliani’s support for abortion is tepid in comparison and both Kennedy and Kerry have actively sought funding for abortion. I am certain that when Teddy Kennedy goes to the great gin mill in the sky he will be buried with full rites in the Church with at least a Bishop if not a Cardinal presiding.
Thanks for the ping. For Roody to campaign as a Catholic, or even Christian, is an afront to God.
“No wafer for you! Next!”
Yeah, I miss Seinfeld.
Bzzzt! Wrong answer. You can always go to confession. What you can't do is be absolved of your sin without taking real steps to give up the sin. That is, to renounce the irregular marriage(s) and practice chastity—that is, you can only have sexual relations with someone you're licitly married to.
Now, the quiz question would be: Who is Mr. Giuliani licitly married to? His first wife? I guess not, since that marriage was declared null (sacrament never really was conferred). Donna Hanover? (A scary thought.) Maybe, since it was never annulled, as far as I know. How about nobody?
Sheesh, Rudy. Straighten out your life and stop putting us through this!
NO ONE who supports abortion actively or passively is a Christian. An unrepentant murderer will not go to Heaven, end of story.
The headline writer works for The Village Voice, the longtime NY entertainment and radical lefty paper. Abortion is their sacrament!
Me too. That title is so offensive.
“Married three times, Giuliani simply isn’t the Catholic candidate he claims to be. He can’t have a confessor. He can’t receive the sacraments of penance, the Eucharist, or marriage. “
Good gravy! You don’t know what you’re talking about. This is all UNTRUE. The church may choose to not recognize the marriage as being sanctified, particularly if a previous marriage was conducted within the church, but that doesn’t mean that a catholic is cut off from the church. Far from it, they are welcomed to remain in the church.
A politician is also immune from the abortion issue if it is the law of the land and they never voted on the original bill to make it into law. This is like blaming Giuliani if some woman in Topeka gets an abortion. Exactly how is that his fault?
I thought about posting only excerpts because the piece is so long, but the whole thing makes it clear why nobody--conservative or otherwise--should trust this man. Just consider his favorite priest, a defrocked pedophile who now serves on his payroll. The man has character problems--bad, bad character problems. That's the point of the article.
When did he ever campaign based on his religion?
{Today, he says it would be “OK to repeal” Roe v. Wade, though he hosted celebrations of its anniversary three times at City Hall. His wholesale reversal on Medicaid funding, late-term abortions, and parental consent are all part of a repackaging}
Giuliani doesn’t hate abortion at all. He jsut hates to talk about in the primary. His answers on aboriton related questions change with the audience. In Feb 2007, he said he supported repealing the Mexico City Policy, a federal law that bars federal funds from being used to promote abortion overseas. In May 2007, on Laura Ingraham, he was asked about the Mexico City Policy. Rudy claimed he did not know what that law was. After Laura explained it to him, he said he supported the Mexico City Policy because it was on the books. A complete flip flop. After the interview, Rudy asked Laura not to ask hima bout social issues any more.
When did he ever campaign as a Republican?
Frequently. That was a rather silly question.
What was so “silly” about this question? Roody’s politics are roughly in line with Joe Lieberman’s and Roody is actually to the left of Dick Gephardt and Tom Daschle.
