My money says that the Bishop does what they all do when confronted with hardcore abortion proponent politicians: submit.
The church has the right to make its own policy. Communion is not a constitutional right nor is it protected under any other law regarding religious practices. Congress needs to mind its own business.
RE:
Submission probable....
Then the next submission will be just past another firm line drawn. Every violation of every tenet and Biblical injunction over behavior can be swept aside if inconvenient to the Dems.
Trying to achieve harmony through your surrender of what is right to those who want what is wrong only ends the “messiness” and “political stuff” because of your surrender.
How about: A future instance in which a local priest refuses to give an abortion service and assisted suicide company 25% of all donations from the flock. No one steps up because “it would make it all so political” and “it could lead to messiness.” His superiors suspend him.
If it was just some schlub he’d be denied the Eucharist without delay.
The Pope surrendered to China. He will fold here also.
His mother should have had an abortion in 1968 so she would support abortion as he does... duuuuhhhh what a stupid moron he is. Where does he think he came from, a kangaroo pouch..? What an idiot...
“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.”
Luke 12: 49-52
Non-believing Catholics insisting believing Catholics bow down to them. Or else. Yes, it will be interesting to see if they punt. BTW - until recently I was part of the Southern Baptists, but moving has left me between churches and the SBC’s punting on issues has convinced me to leave. If you won’t stand for truth....
The bishops need to be reminded, “A coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave man dies but once.” It’s time.
**Twitter avatar for @tedlieu Ted Lieu @tedlieu Dear @Bishopoftyler: I’m Catholic and I’ve read the Gospels. Jesus says nothing about LGBTQ. Christ says a lot about love.**
Tud the spiritual dud. And what a liar. A man and a woman, Tud. And Tud, he also said judgment is coming. He also said to the adultress, “Go and sin no more.”
And I hate to break the news to Ted Lieu, but Newt Gingrich is validly married. His second marriage was annulled on the grounds that his first wife was still alive at the time. She was deceased when he contracted his third marriage, so the first marriage wasn't an issue.
Maybe Lieu ought to constrain himself to topics on which he actually knows something. Then again, those are probably few and far between.
#2272 “Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication….”
#2322 “From its conception, the child has the right to life. Direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, is a “criminal” practice (GS 27 # 3), gravely contrary to the moral law. The Church imposes the canonical penalty of excommunication for this crime against human life.”
If only the church realizes that excommunicating his rebellious azz would make the church look like it stands for something. And THAT would people back. Who wants to go to a church when they see the church rolled by some pissant politicians? This equally applies to Protestant churches.
NUTTY TEDDY is a FALSE CATHOLIC.......Lieuie, GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED!!!
Tick tock crawl out from your rock and take a stand or be damned.
This demonstrates what has happened to the Catholic Church. The Pope won’t stand for the Church’s teachings, so no one pays attention anymore. The Catholic Church has become a political assistant to the RATS. The Pope won’t back up the Bishops, so they will all take a dive soon. You would never hear some two bit congressman say something like this to Islam or to a Baptist Church. Very sad.
If the Bishop had any ‘nads at all, there’d be one PO’d congresscritter this coming Sunday!!!!!
