Would he agree that Democrats who are personally abolitionist must be "prepared to back the law, the Fugitive Slave Act, prepared to back property rights as we've defined them under the law"?
RE: In response,Dick Turbin converts to the Unitarian/Universalist “Church” in 3...2...1...
Actually, if he were an honest man with an honest conscience, he would do either one of these:
1) REPENT and SUPPORT CHURCH TEACHINGS
or
2) LEAVE the Catholic church.
Nice to see such a bloke gain some cajones—particularly under this Pope. Congrats.
Glad to see this Bishop (still) has some reverence for God.
Honest conscience? Even Jay Carney has called Turbin a liar from the podium of the White House Briefing Room.
And BTW...you owe me a new keyboard for that comment!
What took so long?
As an EM I applaud this move by the bishop. He has done 100% right.
Thanks SeekAndFind. As a politician and liar, I'm sure he'll be cool with voting pro-life, as long as he doesn't have to pretend to believe in God.
Good on ya.
I am not a Catholic, but can’t a priest do the same at the church level? Could Nancy Pelosi’s priest deny her communion at her church? If so, then why is this not happening? Until it does the Catholic Church as a whole is reeking of hypocrisy. I am not just referring to Nancy alone but to every Catholic that supports abortion and then gets in line for communion at mass.
Yes but Durbin could sill parish shop and go somewhere else. For a bishop to make this public means the whole diocese needs to follow this.
sill = still
RCINC is the oldest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet. The allowing of Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry to receive communion was a financial decision. RCINC weighed financial impact vs. spiritual mission. Finances won out wasn’t personal it was business
I wonder how long it will take the current pope and his lackey’s to excommunicate the bishop for actually following the rules of the Catholic Church?
Waiting for the Pope to discipline, admonish, chastise and demote this Bishop.
dd will just go shop another ‘RC church’ that is more liberal to his way of thinking...
I still think we ALL probably would have been better off if the hard standing, single issue, demand abortion no matter the circumstances etc would have had MOTHERS that felt as compassionate as they.
After all there was NOT a mass exodus when certain members of the Priesthood were raping ‘our’ sons..
This Pope just doesn’t seem to have all the Beads on his Rosary.....
San Fran Nan should have been denied Communion long ago. Her bishop threatened but never followed through.
... Democrats who are personally pro-life must be “prepared to back the law, Roe vs. Wade, prepared to back women’s rights as we’ve defined them under the law.”
One such democrat is Dan Lipinski (D lL 3rd) who is facing stiff opposition in their March 30th primary. Much of it because of redistricting.
