I am afraid this last sentence is fantasy. Bernardin, Weakland, and a host of others, ran absolute cesspools of corruption, and were never touched. JPII and BXVI both made explicit statements about giving Communion to pro-aborts, and were ignored by almost all bishops.
That’s because some Canon law says that bishops are not to be questioned and they are the final authority on who can receive communion. This was never in Canon law before. It is assuming that all bishops will do the right thing and deny communion to pro-aborts, when we know that is not the case.
The law should be changed. They should be called on the carpet by the Pope and told to knock off their open defiance of Church teachings. But with the current pope no way in the world that will ever happen. He could care less.
The part of doctrine I was referring to is the all the sudden compassion for practicing homosexuals and saying these sinners have “gifts” to offer the church. What gifts, a spreading of aids and dying a slow death. The Catholic Church has always said to love the sinner and hate the sin. Homosexuality is a sin and Francis does not seem to understand that fact. He and his leftist cohorts are bound and determined to turn the Catholic Church into a larger version of the Anglican Church, which is dying a slow death because it has allowed open homosexuality and caved into the homosexual agenda. Francis will go down as the worst pope in the last 500 years.
