Before he became Pope Francis, the Argentine cardinal’s doctrine would have excluded Vice President Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi from Communion. Father Shenan J. Boquet president of Human Life International explains:
While we cannot know what is truly in someone’s heart, all too often political or other high-profile figures who profess to be members of the Catholic faith give rise to scandal when they publicly promote intrinsic evils such as abortion, euthanasia, the redefinition of marriage, and contraception–several of which have been championed by Vice President Biden and Rep. Pelosi throughout their political careers.
They should not only be Ex-Communicated, they should be hung as well. I would settle for the latter.
ReplyDeleteThis (top) comment summed it up for me:
ReplyDeleteRogelio Mahony: "Given that both Biden and Pelosi are PUBLIC figures who PUBLICLY support/facilitate abortion they are both already latae sententiae (automatically) excommunicated from the Catholic Church. They are bringing disgrace to the Body of Christ and grave harm to their souls. That said, they should either be physically prevented from receiving communion in the future or they should be ignored because articles like this do nothing but make them martyrs in the eyes of other dissenters."
