New Pope: No Communion for Pro-Abortion Politicians
New Pope Francis I is a conservative
in the mold of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul
II. That’s especially true on the issue of abortion, which he called a
“death sentence” for the unborn in 2007. “We aren’t in agreement with
the death penalty,” he said during that speech, “but in Argentina we
have the death penalty. A child conceived by the rape of a mentally ill
or retarded woman can be condemned to death.”
In the Aparecida Document, a document that represents a joint statement
by Latin American church leaders but presented by Francis in 2007, the
leaders stated, “we should commit ourselves to ‘eucharistic coherence,’
that is, we should be conscious that people cannot receive holy
communion and at the same time act or speak against the commandments, in
particular when abortions, euthanasia, and other serious crimes against
life and family are facilitated. This responsibility applies
particularly to legislators, governors, and health professionals.”
Will Biden and Pelosi be refused communion?
ReplyDeleteKnowing them, they probably could care less, but would make a big deal out of it.
