"What would Archbishop Flynn do if pro-abortion Senator Ted Kennedy or Senator John Kerry came up to him for the Eucharist, and just weeks before Archbishop Burke, Archbishop Donohue, Bishop Vasa, Bishop Baker, Bishop Jugis and Bishop Bruskewitz had all denied Kerry the Eucharist, as they said they would do?"

"Would Archbishop Flynn remain 'divided' from these six fellow Bishops and 'do his own thing?' Would he want to obey Divine Law and remain 'united' with these six fellow members of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), a conference to which he belongs?

The six bishops who have declared they would deny the Eucharist to persons who obstinately persist in their grave manifest sin are neither quacks nor schismatic, but are faithful magisterial Bishops, members of the USCCB."

"The Archbishop speaks of unity, but he causes disunity by giving the impression of a false unity."

I am really tired of hearing the Bishops or religious always invoke the "change the world" comment. The world is NOT our home, although we are saved by Jesus we still struggle and are fallen in nature. How could a fallen creature change the world to be a paradise because this is what they are truly saying with this type of comment.

The world will only be changed at the Second Coming of Christ and only through the Hand of God will it be done, NOT the hand of man who with pride and arrogance assumes they can.

This does not mean I do not believe we can make the world a better place (as we have seen through the actions of many Saints like St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta), but we will NOT be able to transform it.

They (many bishops) always say that the Eucharist should not be denied to pro-aborts thus making it a "sanction" against them. I do not understand this mentality.

It is not a "sanction" to deny them the Eucharist, it is MERCY to deny them the Eucharist.

Given the excellent scripture and canon law references, seems to me it would be merciful to the pro-aborts souls if they were denied the Eucharist.

Is it me, or am I missing something here?
