I'm curious about Gov McGreevy's motivation in obeying the Bishop. Is he being obedient and the rest is just bluster to save face, or is he at this time repudiating his Catholic faith?

Somebody made the point that he made the wrong choice. I couldn't agree more. Let's see, eternal life with God or the favor of political idealogues for the length of the twinkling of an eye, Hmmmmm! Which will it be?

Like Sara, for a long time I wouldn't receive Communion either because I was in sin, and didn't see an end to it. At Mass I would say, along with everybody else, "Lord, I am not worthy to receive You, but only say the word and I will be healed." But with me it was more of a plea and I would stay in my seat until He invited me personally. He did, and I pray that the Governor will be invited also.

Way to go Abp Myers - and to a lesser extent Gov McGreevy.

I just heard in the news hour update on Rush Limbaugh (I think it's CBS news here in Philly, but I'm not sure) that McGreevy is not saying one way or the other if he will attempt to receive Communion next Sunday. Has anyone else heard this? It's hard to believe they'd get it wrong since Philly talk radio 1210 broadcasts to all of South Jersey - I even get it when I'm down the shore.
