I am assuming being an active proponent of abortion and referring to it as sacred ground as Pelosi did should have invited some direct conversations with her priest. Would this be considered a ‘mortal sin’ in the Catholic church to actively promote abortion as a Catholic? Has there been an official statement on that?

I forgot that you could be going to church every day and taking Communion, so not making a daily confession if you have nothing worthy to discuss makes sense.

Regarding your questions:
1 & 2) Because they talked about it afterwards, and the man wasn’t sorry. He had a very bad temper and didn’t apologize for a long time. Once there was reconciliation and the apology accepted, the man was welcomed to take communion again.
3) I don’t know the answer to that - we can only pray that did happen at some point.

Yes, since abortion is murder.

I'm glad to hear that Mr. Bad Temper is back on plan.

I learned a LONG time ago that if I did or said something mean to someone it is 1000 times better to apologize immediately. The longer I waited the harder it got, so now I know.

Having a very bad temper is partly genetic, I think, but controlling it is the "free will" part. Anyone can learn that control but it sure is a lot easier to learn the lesson of self control at a very young age.

I agree - I see friends’ little kids throwing temper tantrums with their parents, but they would never think of doing such things at my house. I think the man who in question here had some severe mental problems contributing to his anger. Pray for us all and pray that I will always get that log out of my eye first.

Lol. We've ALL got those logs.
That poor guy had mental problems? How sad. There but for the grace of God go I.
