When the senator approached Fr. Robert Whitney to receive Communion, he 'instead said a blessing over the senator. Murkowski did not make a scene and went back to her seat.'
March 15, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic priest was punished in late 2019 for denying liberal Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska Holy Communion over her support of legal abortion, an Alaska radio host has revealed.
KENI morning host Dan Fagan wrote that, early last week, he received a call from a man claiming that a priest had denied Murkowski Communion, and that as punishment the Archdiocese of Anchorage transferred him to a different church in a much smaller community.
Fagan said that the Anchorage Archdiocese, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Soldotna, and Murkowski’s D.C. office all refused multiple requests for comment, so he published a clip of the call online, and “that’s when the flood gates opened. It turns out the incident in question not only happened, but it was common knowledge among many Anchorage Catholics.”
Citing “reliable sources who asked to remain anonymous,” Fagan said that in December 2019, Fr. Robert Whitney was saying Mass as a visiting priest in Our Lady of the Snows in Girdwood, which Murkowski attended. When the senator approached him to receive Communion, Whitney “instead said a blessing over the senator. Murkowski did not make a scene and went back to her seat.”
Fagan said the incident so angered the “leftist” Anchorage-Juneau Archbishop Andrew Bellisario that he moved Whitney “out of the much larger St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Anchorage to the much smaller Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Soldotna.”

The point of denying someone Communion is to PROTECT them,not to punish them.
Power plays in the Church. James writes about this.
Ping
The dictator-pope’s persecution continues: everybody must receive Holy Communion.
“We are all brothers according to my Fratelli Tuttti!”
Andrew Bellisario is a Francis bishop (appointed first as bishop of Juneau and more recently of the newly-formed diocese of Anchorage-Juneau). I suspected that would be the case.
Shes a pro-abort. Nuff said right there.
To paraphrase the liberal Garrison Keillor, it sounds like lots of catholic need to broke Lutherans. That way they don’t have to believe the hard stuff.
Canon 916 makes no mention of protecting anyone.
How many/which SCOTUS are RomanCatholic ?
Nothing about “protecting” there either. Sin is sin.
You don’t need to give any man money to be forgiven for your sins. That’s extorsion.
You don’t need a church or any building.
You just need to believe in Christ, fall on your knees and repent.
It’s that simple.
Amen Eddie.
PAID IN FULL.
I will let the Bible speak for itself
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who [d]suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is [e]manifest [f]in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and [g]Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like [h]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their [i]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the [j]men, leaving the natural use of the [k]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [o]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Fr. Robert Whitney... still some men fighting the good fight.
“that as punishment the Archdiocese of Anchorage transferred him to a different church in a much smaller community.”
LOL, he’s probably laughing about that. What are the options here? Give communion to a demonic POS garbage like Murk and have the communion wafer burst into flames? He’s happier in a smaller community away from that old hag.
Better to suffer for doing right, when doing wrong would be sinning.
Pretty sure the Apostle Peter wrote about this.
I would have sprinkled Holy Water on her to watch her self-combust.
Yes. I agree.
Thank you.
It's not that simple, unless one rejects the Bible.
[23] Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. John Chapter 20.
