Giving Communion to pro-abortion politicians is a MORTAL SIN.

It is NOT a political act. It is merely refusing to participate in giving grave scandal, and the sin of sacrilege.

It is INFINITELY more important for bishops to stop committing the mortal sin of giving Communion to notorious sinners than it is for them to write articles about voting. If the bishops would simply stop committing the mortal sins of scandal and sacrilege, more Catholics would be able to discern that voting for pro-abortionists is sinful.

Bishop,
what if the pro-life guy is divorced and remarried ... and the NARAL guy is an Irish Catholic family man? ANswer: I refused to vote.

What if the pro-life guy is a worldly businessman and a Methodist! Same, refused to vote.

That is how we got the ObamaCare bill, because in NY19 and NY23 (Doug Hoffman), the hyperReligious refused to participate. And gave Nancy the final 2 votes she needed.

Fideism is disabling.

This a big beef with a lot of people, but how often does Communion get served to actual pro-choice politicians? I Don't have any pro-choice pols at my parish never have. I do wish we could some how get people who worship with these pols to get a count, then we could target the individual priests and Bishops where it happens.

My theory is that many of these people are cultural catholics or E/C catholics at best.

Like did Teddy Kennedy actually go to Mass weekly when there were no cameras around? Just by way of example.

I am sure that actual proof of people being scandalized by this would have more of an affect then all the hot air and conjecture. That gives these men an out. We need the proof.

How about it Catholic Freepers? Let's put this to bed. We need names!
