The problem with denying Communion across the Board to anyone who supports abortion, gay marriage, etc., is that the Communion ministers do not know that. A politician’s views are known and are a scandal to the church so it is easier to select them.

That does notmean that the ordinary communicant is not excommunicated — they are in fact if they are living outside the teachings of the church. But only they and God know it in their hearts. It is the public position of the politician that makes it different.

I meant to add that I support the Bishop and I’m glad to hear that you do too! :)

Its sorta like putting the politicians "back in the closet" where they belong. They need to keep their opinions to themselves. 40 years ago, a pol couldn't get elected if they espoused such things, but now it's accepted as "moderate". Now our children think the old timers are out of step with reality. They should be told that the pols are out of step with God. Being popular isn't a requirement for being right.

Jesus told the Truth and was murdered for it. The Bible says we(Christians) will be slaughtered like sheep and the killers will believe they are doing God's Work. You see what centuries of lies and misinterpretation of God's word has done for Muslims. The same will happen to our children if they aren't corrected. Taking God out of school was the beginning of the end for America.
