Catholics “absolutely” can not support the killing of unborn babies in abortions, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said Tuesday in an interview with Fox & Friends.
The archbishop spoke with host Steve Doocy about a pastoral letter that he published over the weekend, explaining why Catholics who persist in supporting abortion may be denied Communion.
“Can you be a devout practicing Catholic and support abortion?” Doocy asked.
“Absolutely not, absolutely not,” Cordileone responded. “We’re talking about killing innocent human beings. So this is a very serious matter. Anyone who cooperates in that is involving themselves in a very serious sin, and absolutely not. That’s not possible.”
The archbishop said he wrote the letter to help people understand the gravity of the issue of abortion. Since 1973, more than 62 million unborn babies have been killed in abortions in America.
“This is not one policy issue among several. This is the most fundamental right. It’s the right to life,” he said.

“When other avenues are exhausted, the only recourse a pastor has left is the public medicine of temporary exclusion from the Lord’s Table,” Cordileone wrote. “This is a bitter medicine, but the gravity of the evil of abortion can sometimes warrant it.”
Sit, Joe, Nancy, Durbin, etc down and tell them the choices. Repent and stop supporting/advocating for abortion. It’s their choice which is the most important to them.
Wow, one actual roman catholic bishop that definitively states this clearly and concisely.
And my context is that i am glad to see it. Wish they all said it like he does, and follows through on it.
If you vote RAT you vote for abortion. It’s just that simple.
I like +Cordileone. His diocese ain’t perfect, and that a not insignificant number of priests, parishes and schools under his jurisdiction ain’t everything they should be. BUT the man does the best he can. When so many of the priests, school teachers and people in the pews aren’t onboard with Catholic teachings, it’s an uphill battle. I remember 6 years ago when many of the “prominent” Catholics of the diocese signed an open letter to the pope begging him to dump Cordileone. And to some extent it’s surprising that Bergoglio didn’t bite. I’ve heard, though, that as one of the fluent Italian speakers in the American episcopacy, Cordileone has friends in Rome.
Psalm 1:6
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Wonderful quote.
Lets see how many people they excommunicate. I won’t hold my breath.
The church gave up the gospel of Christ when they got into banking.
That is true. Joe Biden is not a Catholic. Joe Biden is a phoney. A Catholic would not push Abortion.
Does the “Pope” agree?

Literal translation of the family name is indeed "heart of a lion". Something sadly lacking amongst the clergy of any denomination thses days.
Impeach the bastard and excommunicate.
The Archie in San Francisco is the real deal: promotes Latin mass, presides at the Latin mass, has 24 hour security, loves the Lord, and understands the gay mafia as hostages to Satan who need his help to escape.
Beautiful latin mass took place in Washington DC in Nov. 2019.

You will get no argument from me!
After they kick out all the phony Catholics, like Biden, Pelosi, Kaine, Mikulski, Markey, Menendez, Leahy, Manchin, and the rest of the baby killing hypocrites, I may consider returning to the Church.
Why can’t we just shoot them in the head?
(Asking for a friend!)

There is none offered in the USA that did not use an aborted child.
Let the flaming begin, hypocrites first please.
