This is more reflective of political pressure from Boston than from Rome. You can't blame the Pope for being consistent in the Church's doctrine. He condemned the war in Iraq, too. You can however blame the conservative bishops, and the conservative mouth pieces in Boston such as that dolt from the Catholic League, Bill Donahue. I wouldn't be surprised if this pressure is coming from the Bush camp. There are many more Catholics around the country who are still doing "the Lord's work." For example, the priest and nuns who were just released from jail for protesting the rotten SOA in Georgia. Not excluding the various Catholic organizations and activists that fought for years against the sanctions in Iraq, and likewise opposed this war. Catholic Charities also do a countless number of good deeds around the country, and the world. This public call for the denial of the eucharist is shameful and opportunistic. I am fine with Catholics calling out Liberals for their inconsistencies, but to deny someone the eucharist on political, pro-Bush grounds is outrageous. I hope that Congresswoman Pelosi and others follow through and release the recent analysis on ALL members of Congress, and how their voting patterns conflict with the Church's teachings (ie. war resolution, capital punishment, defunding welfare programs, etc.). |

| Brandon | I wonder if the bishop's little decree applies to those who vote for pro-choice Republicans. | |

Bishop: Bar communion for pro-choice voters http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/...eut/index.html Yet another fuckhead bishop, Michael Sheridan of Colorado Springs, is butting into the political arena, demanding that Catholics who even vote for pro-choice politicians be barred from communion. His explanation? Quote:
And people wonder why the church is struggling. |
