All baptized Catholics who have left the Church can come back. It is a simple procedure of sitting down with a priest and talking about the things that are blocking the way.

Perhaps it was a previous marriage, and an annulment is needed. Perhaps it was a previous adhering to Catholic Cafeteria beliefs (such as same-sex marriages), and all that needs to be done is further education.

Of course, the Sacrament of Reconciliation will follow, with a firm resolve not to commit that sin again as well as sincere repentance.

FReepmail me if you want to talk.

You can’t be Catholic and pro-abortion, period. This excludes Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy and a host of others. Pro-choice is a double whammy for them. Besides promoting infanticide, it also goes to the notion that they can pick and choose whichever tenets of Catholicism that suits them and reject the others. It doesn’t work that way.

Another point of interest here. Unless Palin has filled out loads of paperwork, sat infront of a board of priests and formally denounced the Catholic faith, she is STILL a Catholic.

This is article, in my judgment, is a hit piece, both on Sarah and Catholicism.

Sarah was never confirmed in the Faith with the Sacrament of Confirmation. This sacrament represents the first overt acceptance of the Baptismal Promises made by the parents and god parents at Baptism. Since Sarah never affirmed her Faith in the Church and was brought up in the Assembly of God she in no way can be considered a heretic

The act of heresy does not, I think, even fit her family. The Roman Church no longer holds fast on the doctrine of no salvation outside the Church, and unless the Heaths consciously attempted and succeeded to persuade other of the Faithful to join them they are not guilty of heresy.

Representative Pelosi might be closer to that heretical line as she proffers a belief clearly in opposition to the Roman Church and by her words and actions offered it as a road other Catholics could follow in good conscious. That to me is far closer to hersy than a person taking leave of a belief for another.

So the implication is Biden is a better as a pro infanticide Catholic than Palin is a pro life Evangelical.

Heard this before. The fact that Biden and other pro infanticide politicians still receive communion is a much bigger scandal than Palin’s parents moving to Alaska and joining a non Catholic church.

Don’t be so glum, Sarah. Martin Luther had the same problem.
