**The common teaching on this matter has been that it gravely wrong to vote for a pro-choice candidate because you support their pro-abortion stance.**
Gravely wrong = mortal sin = Confession time!
Yes, Salv, Confession...and Penance. I’d like to see priests this weekend suggest to all those who voted for our new pro-death president-elect that they do penance for the babies that will die due to their votes, and that penance should directly relate to bringing their consciences in line with Church teaching.
For example, they could (1) write to all their Congressmen opposing FOCA and supporting the continuation of the Mexico City Policy, (2) give “alms” by donating to American Life League, HLI, Priests for Life, C-Fam, Project Rachel, or some other truly pro-life charity, and then read the literature those groups send out. (3) They should be required to watch the video put out by the Bella star (on You Tube) that shows graphic abortion pictures.
And....DON’T present yourself for Communion until you have done all of the above, or you add sacrilege to the already grave sin of cooperation with evil.
I wonder if 50 years ago this would have seemed “unreasonable” for a priest to say?
