You are correct.
Anyone who promotes, participates and encourages and now will government fund abortion is excommunicated ipso facto.
Divorced and remarried Catholics cannot receive The Eucharist.
Those in the state of mortal (grievous sin) cannot receive The Eucharist.
The Bishop has tried to talk with him about the gravity of the state of his soul. Obviously Kennedy refused to convert to the teaching of the Church.
By barring him from receiving The Eucharist, if Kennedy persists in receiving after being warned about the state of his soul, he brings more judgement on himself.
I agree that he is playing his “victim” card.
Let us all pray for his conversion and give thanks that his Bishop took the time to counsel him privately and now publicly as so many have been publicly scandalized by Kennedy’s arrogance in his very uncatholic behavior.
Well said.
Thanks.
