Yes, even the USCCB spokesperson-nun-sister-lady whatever she is said something like, “We have never heard of any other priest in the country taking this position.” And yet what is the position? What we all know: if you voted for Obama, with an understanding of his position on abortion, you committed a grave sin, which of course makes you ineligible for Communion without Penance. It’s so simple and I don’t believe 50 years ago anyone would have found such a statement controversial.

Although no one is backing him up, I bet many priests are saying to themselves, “Gosh, I wish I had the guts to do that” or even “I would do that if my bishop would not make my life a living hell for it.”

It is a crack in the ice. Remember in 2004 Burke was the only Bishop to speak about pro-abortion politicians and he was almost publicly humiliated live on EWTN by his fellow bishops for doing so. Now look how many bishops spoke out this year, Chaput broke the ice, and others were then inspired, shamed or forced to making statements.

This issue is going to emerge more and more because it’s getting very antagonistic between the “real” Catholics and the leftists. THAT IS GOOD. It will force the matter to be discussed, it will force the bishops to have to account for the millions of dollars they’ve given to ACORN and many leftist causes. Most Catholics are still passively blundering along, like most Americans, but when things start reaching a crisis point maybe people will wake up and start learning what’s really going on.
