Official Policy:
Politicians who Support Abortions are to be Denied Communion in the Catholic Church
U.S. Archbishop Burke Orders Priests to Refuse Communion for Anti-Life PoliticiansDiocese communications director says the decree is binding on priests
LA CROSSE, Wisconsin, January 9, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, of the La Crosse Diocese, has issued an official order stating that politicians who support abortion or euthanasia are to be refused Holy Communion. The notification, published yesterday in the diocesan paper The Catholic Times begins by quoting extensively from authoritative Vatican documents explaining that support for abortion by Catholic politicians is gravely sinful. "
Note: This follows on the heels of the statement from the Vatican in the past week casting aspersions on the role of feminism in the modern world. Communion for a Catholic is the central act of worship which was instituted at the Last Supper, and in which bread and wine are consecrated and consumed in remembrance of Jesus's death.
The Archbishops and Cardinals herein single out politicians for this dishonor. What about doctors, priests, family counselors, police, and military administrators among others who support abortions in select cases? Are they to be denied too? As stated in the Bible, Jesus did not support this concept of limiting access to His Grace based solely on a believers support of a procedure that was in the best interest of the concerned parties.
Fie on any Organized Religion who proporting to be in service to humanity would withhold their sacred rites from parishioners who exercise their judgement in support of a womans right to have control over their own body. Oh how I wish they could be made to bear a child from a rape themselves, and support it for the rest of their lives !!!
