Oh, I didn’t say anything about Communion. He shouldn’t be receiving, and he knows it. He’s bringing condemnation down on himself for doing so. I’m just talking about his funeral. We won’t know, unless he himself, before he dies, or one of his family members after his death, makes his repentance of his abortion support known. His Confessor wouldn’t be able to do it.
A pastor with integrity will not cover over or absolve this person...
.. but use Christ words to reach out to those still living, who are lost.
His confessor should require a written statement expressing repentance, as a condition of absolution.
