But as I noted in post #6, this issue gets zero coverage if the politician isn’t Catholic. For example, Michael Dukakis is pro-abortion and Greek Orthodox, and he was the Democrat nominee for President in 1988, I can find zero examples of Orthodox bishops stating he should abstain from communion until he repeats of his abortion-on-demand ideology
I don’t know if Mike Dukakis is an Orthodox in good standing anyway, because of his marriage outside the Church. If not—no Communion.
And a good Spiritual Father would deal with an Orthodox communicant’s sin via Holy Confession, rather than blurting it out in the media!!!
