Justice Anthony Kennedy, being a Roman Catholic, will likely approach the altar for Holy Communion if he attends Mass tomorrow. This is a defining moment for the Roman Church.
Will Anthony Kennedy be denied holy communion, based on his attrocious sin of sodomizing marriage?
No.
kinda hoping they all get stoned as they arrive at their churches today, not that I would ever advocate that happening.
Withholding communion is not to punish one but to protect the church. There are few curses in the New Testament. Actually, just this one, I suspect.
Notre Dame defined itself that day.
Excommunicated would be appropriate.
Likewise granting ECCLESIASTICAL FUNERALS to "notorious apostates, heretics" or "other manifest sinners." The relevant (fallible) canon 1184 states that, "If any doubt occurs, the local ordinary is to be consulted, and his judgment must be followed." And if not overruled then his interpretation stands, not FR RCs.
And under which local judgment you have the case of Father Marcel Guarnizo, the priest who, after he denied Communion to a openly lesbian “Buddhist Catholic” woman, has been suspiciously placed on administrative leave [removed from active ministry] by the Washington archdiocese (ostensibly not as a consequence of treatment of the lesbian), while Cardinal Donald Wuerl of the Washington archdiocese where this incident took place stated that he will not withhold the Eucharist from pro-abortion politicians. (http://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/otn.cfm?id=897)
"...there’s a question about whether this canon’’ – the relevant church law – “was ever intended to be used’’ to bring politicians to heel. He thinks not. “I stand with the great majority of American bishops and bishops around the world in saying this canon [Canon 915] was never intended to be used this way.’’ — from the thread [Archbishop] Wuerl: Why I Won’t Deny Pelosi Communion
All of which are not silenced by Rome. We find no infallible teaching on this (among other things) that is not open to manifest uncensored interpretation.
Notre Dame is a Catholic institution.
Does the name “Catholic” mean anything anymore?
“Have Kerry, Biden and Pelosi been so denied, of late?”
What makes you think they actually attend Mass?
A good bit of prophecy at this site pointing out what is happening in the Church today.
Get ready for persecution.

Problems have a way of spreading taint. Just saying, the church appears to accept homosexuality, it’s protestations to the contrary belied by its inaction when given clear opportunity.
He should be excommunicated and burned at the stake. But he won’t.
Simple. No.
Rome has always been about power ... and so the political “leaders” that promote abortion/gay marriage.. are still welcome for the power they bring.. hypocrites
Yes. You are right. T
I am trying to determine where he attends Holy Mass. He lives within the Diocese of Arlington, VA. I’ve called the bishop’s office and left a message with the spokesperson’s voicemail, but no response. I’ll keep digging. I think this is the hill to die on, regarding Canon 915. I would like to prompt a steady, relentless drumbeat of pressure on the USCCB to deny Kennedy Holy Communion. Let’s secure this victory first, and then think about others.
