It is a sin to vote/support pro-abortion politicians...

“Boston Cardinal Accused of Partisan Politics for Blasting Democrats over Abortion”
This is impossible. from everything I can see, there are only democrats in Boston so it cannot be political since there are not two sides.
This guy must really love Teddy Kennedy!
Here in Bahston, Catholics could care less for the most part. Politics is a blood sport, religion is a resume enhancer if you’re Irish, Italian, Polish or Greek. If you are none of the above, believing in any thing religious makes you a racist, bigotted homophobe!
Silly!
If you ask me, the cardinal didn’t go far enough, especially in regard to Catholic politicians who support partial-birth abortion. Why doesn’t the Church excommunicate anyone anymore?
Strange that liberals think that the 1st amendment somehow precludes the church from commenting on political issues. To them, religious freedom = religious restrictions.
Excommunicate Ted Kennedy
Well I'm sure every denomination has those people, but God will say " Get over with the goats and weeds, I never knew you." I'm even sick of those that say " I hate abortion but I don't want to impose my values on anybody else."
Romans 1:32
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The only problem is that this is not Church-wide in the United States.
Rudolf Guiliani and Ted Kennedy cannot receive communion in Atlanta, Georgia, for example.
This was done by a proclamation by then Archbishop John Francis Donoghue, who is now the Archbishop Emeritus of Atlanta (he is retired).
Archbishop Burke of Saint Louis has been very outspoken on this issue.
The media tried to show bias on the part of Archbishop Chaput of Denver. This resulted in the correct views of the Roman Catholic Church being shown in the New York Times and on CNN. In other words, the media attacks on Chaput backfired...
That Archdiocese, as well as Charlotte and Charleston had proclamations about this during the 2004 Election.
Maybe the Democratic Party is trying to get Cardinal Sean O'Malley to follow the suit of Archbishop Emeritus John Francis Donoghue of Atlanta (Emeritus means he is retired, but he was not retired for this proclamation)...
There is a saying: Love the sinner, hate the sin.
And I do think that the Pope should spend time with pro-abortion Catholic politicians -- to know how close the fire of hell are to them.
You just have to go to the BIBLE to see why.
Jesus said this about those who give bad examples to the innocents: it is better to put a millstone around your neck and be thrown into the sea rather than bring scandal upon innocents...
Basically, pro-abortion politicians are doing that in getting people to believe that it is okay to destroy human life because of the age of that life -- it is age discrimination... That is what abortion is really about.
And maybe some of those politicians should see the movie Bella to get a grip on reality...
See the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 18:1-20 for more information...
Senator Collins of Maine comes to mind, as one...
.
It is perfectly ridiculous to assume that Kerry, Kennedy, Collins, Pelousey or any of these other Losers actually “practice” their Catholicism.
It would not be that diffiult to find out and make it known to their constituents. You can follow the money, that’s a screen. Follow their attendence.
I should know, I am presently “lapsed” for personal reasons,
I practice at home and in my everyday life.
Money?
Not only Boston Democraps. How about New England’s Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, the Chafees from Rhode Island, Jumpin Jim Jeffords, etc?
You need to learn your Canon Law. Roman Catholic politicians who openly support abortion are complicit in the grave sin and are AUTOMATICALLY excommunicated. No affirmative action by the Church is required.
