O’DONNELL: So, when you say we cannot politicize the communion rail, you would give communion to politicians, for instance, who support abortion rights.
CUPICH: I would not use the Eucharist or as they call it the communion rail as the place to have those discussions or way in which people would be either excluded from the life of the church. The Eucharist is an opportunity of grace and conversion. It’s also a time of forgiveness of sins. So my hope would be that that grace would be instrumental in bringing people to the truth
There is no such thing as a communion rail in Catholic churches today. The very question shows the reporter had not been inside a Catholic church in decades, if ever.
Abortion is more than just a political issue. It is the deliberate killing of an innocent, unborn child. To accept that the killing of a child is a political issue, not a moral one, shows at best a complete lack of spiritual and moral values and at worst an active promotion of evil.
Some Catholic churches have them.
