Hey, why don’t y’all form your own little church and quit annoying the poor Catlicks?
The process worked exactly as the Church was set up by Christ to work. His Bishop called her actions as unacceptable, mortally grave. The Church holds child murder to be a self-excommunicating act, separating oneself from the Church of God. She repented to God in persona Criste, before a priest, promised never to do so again. By the powers given him in the name of God via his ordination, she was absolved of her grave sin. God’s mercy. That’s why Jesus suffered and died and rose again for us and why He set up the Church on the strength and humanity of Peter.
The fact that she is screwy in other ways has a lot to do with her worthless award, and nothing to do with her return to the ability to receive communion after the abortion.
We whip Jesus daily by our offensive sins. She continues to whip Him, I continue to whip Him in similar and different ways, unfortunately. His mercy is so appreciated.
What the Church, via the bishop, says, it means.
