SC priest: No communion for Obama supporters

[fetal heart beats by 21st day]

I suspect he knows that, and is prepared.

[Northern Yankee]

Hey Katherine!

It is so good to see this taking place. We have too many in our parish that discard abortion as an issue.

Case in point... A few weeks ago our priest read a letter from our bishop saying that Catholics should vote pro-life. (Our daughter was confirmed the night before, so I didn't see the reaction the following morning.) One woman stormed out, screeching she had heard enough!!! Three other couples cornered our priest after Mass and read him the riot act.

How do they do that after receiving the Eucharist? How have their hearts become so hardened?!

[Patriotic1]

Are you Catholic? Pope B16 has ushered in a new Springtime, and he knows that the Church may become smaller. Will this pastor be dragged down? Perhaps. I hope not.

But, he is one of a new breed of orthodox priests who believe ‘be not afraid’.

[Desdemona]

Three other couples cornered our priest after Mass and read him the riot act.

In my parents' parish, a woman cornered the priest and questioned him on why he DIDN'T speak out on voting pro-life. I guess it all depends.

[calex59]

Denying communion because of who someone voted for? Many people didn’t even think about abortion when they voted for O or any dem for that matter. They voted for a variety of reasons. While I like his stand against abortion I find his reasoning idiotic. Sorry. This one goes in my stupid file.

The only thing that should go into your stupid file is your comment. You think voters shouldn't research the person they are voting for to find out what he stands for? You think Catholics and other Christians should just disregard their religion when voting for someone? Now that is stupid thinking. Catholics and other Christians who believe in their faith had no business in voting for this killer of unborn and botched abortion babies.

Next you will be saying that we should all just vote for what some idiot tells us instead of finding out what they really think and intend to do, we should just vote for them for a "vaiety of reasons" and forget what evil they intend to do. Real Christians can not separate their beliefs from their vote, if they do they are no longer Christians but heedless, mindless drones.

While I oppose abortion and respect a person's right to his opinion, what self-respecting Catholic will continue to tremble in fear when the earth doesn't open up and swallow him after he's "excomunicated"; when he doesn't break out in suppurating pustules when he's declared anathema?

Forgive me: But the "Church" has lately become a lot like Islam in some respects, i.e. turning its back on the modern world.

[Campion]

His replacement will cave.

He won't be replaced, and nothing will happen to him as far as discipline from his superiors is concerned.

What do you think the pastor should do? Break the Obama voters on the wheel in the rectory basement, then hold an auto-da-fe in the school parking lot and burn them?

Come on, the maximum discipline possible to a Catholic layperson is to deny them the sacraments. That's just what this pastor did.

If their faith is important to them, they'll understand that it's time to repent. And if it isn't, well, then the Episcopal church down the block can have some new faces on Sunday. With the way the ECUSA is losing members, they'll probably be grateful.

[lightman]

He should also stress the necessity of making a good Confession as the means for readmittance to Communion.

The pennance might include signing an Impeachment petition.

[Scarlet7]

They don’t. Examine your conscience. If you voted for Obama you have gone against Catholic teachings most greviously. As a result, you are no longer in a state of grace and must therefore not receive the Holy Eucharist.

[upchuck]

Conservatives are always welcome in South Carolina. You’ll find a warm welcome here.

[potlatch]

Thank you for the link, that is what I was looking for. He is going to need some support. If more would start speaking out it would be wonderful.

[RKV]

So are you the Bishop to say he won’t be replaced? I doubt it.

Fr. Paul of the Greenville TX said the same thing

It is under the weekly homily. They have the audio version up but not the text of it yet.

[Salvation]

This priest may soon find himself elected a Bishop! Pope Benedict is watching!

STOP FOCA!

Pray for LIFE!
