But priests who give the sacrament to supporters of abortion do not get excommunicated.
Why I am NOT a Catholic!
KNOWN abortion supporters maybe...but the logistical impossibility of determining who exactly IS a supporter and who is NOT a supporter kinda' makes this concept hard to implement, however laudable the ends...
I understand your concerns, and there are Bishops who are beginning to tell politicians, who support Abortion rights, to not present themselves for Holy Communion. If someone comes up for Communion and is a Catholic, I don’t think Priests ask a person in the Communion line whether they are in state of Grace and thus full communion with God and the Church. It is up to an individual to discern their conscious and not present themself for Communion. Some Bishops are beginning to publicy state that if a Politician publicly states, “I am a Catholic and I personally, blah, blah, but I support x y, or z”, which contradicts Church teaching, then that person should not go to Communion. Cardinal Egan recently asked Rudy Guliani to not go to Communion and the Governor of Kansas was told the same thing by her Local Bishop. Abp Burke of St. Louis, Chaput of Denver have done the same thing.
So, the tide is slowly turning.
Oh PLEASE! You aren’t a Catholic because you are probably a doubter or LAZY and WEAK...not because a Priest gives Holy Communion to a person who MIGHT have gone to CONFESSION about their pro-abortion views!!
