Good for Bishop Henry. I hope he carries through with it.

One small quibble about the headline. Nobody "deserves" Communion.

I hope he carries through with it.

He won't. Too many shepherds are themselves lambs.

I am sure the vatican would support him

What brave words has Mister Henry gone on record with concerning himself, some of his fellow employees, and their apparent hobbies of diddling little kids and playing "hide the perpetrator"?

Seems t'me that (while it IS sin and an abomination) s-s marriage is not shattering the lives of children like molestation and harboring/abetting said molesters is.

"once suggested former prime minister Jean Chretien, also a devout Catholic, could lose his "eternal salvation""

Someone please define "devout." A person who flagrantly attacks his own religion's moral doctrines is not devout.

"Rights are rooted in the dignity of the human person, a dignity bestowed upon the human person by God. From this perspective there is no right to have an abortion. No Catholic can responsibly take a 'pro-choice' stand when the 'choice' in question involves the taking of innocent life. Nor is there a right of couples in same sex unions to marry. One cannot invent a meaning of sexuality to suit one's own wishes or tastes. Marriage is a union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others."

Martin is a 'Cafeteria Catholic' just like Kerry, Kennedy and the other 58 in Congress who hide behind the convenient mantra...'I believe in the separation of church and state'!
