All but about a dozen American bishops insist that their priests MUST commit the mortal sin of giving Communion to publicly pro-abortion "Catholics." Will any priests refuse to commit this mortal sin? Will the Pope ever take notice?

Our Lady of Fatima said that the great apostasy will begin at the top.

We are living in the times of the Great Apostasy.

I doubt it. Those holy priests who do refuse to distribute communion when confronted with persons who present a public scandal (outspoken homosexuals, abortionists) are severely disciplined and/or suppressed.

Denying communion to such people doesn’t jive with the Holy Father’s pastoral mission...

I think whatever heart there was - was eaten away along time ago.

I’ve wondered about the duty of the priest in that situation. I kept concluding they were duty bound to refuse to obey their Bishop. Is that wrong? Should they be refusing to obey and off communion when doing so violates CCC 915?

Nope- Because it would have a negative cash flow effect on RC Inc.
