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.

I think many sheep have jumped on the bandwagon since they like the end result without giving this much thought. What is the criteria by which a person should not receive communion?

Abortion is murder. Obama isn’t personally committing murder. He is facilitating it. Christ said if you have anger in your heart against someone you have committed murder. So every person in that congregation has actually committed murder, not just facilitated it. So by that logic no one should receive communion.

Then look at another aspect. Many of those members have been voting democrat all their lives and not necessarily because of abortion. Long before Obama they were voting for local, state and federal democrats that supported abortion policies. So why did he wait til now to make this proclamation? It should apply to anyone who ever voted for a dem based on that logic not just to those who supported Obama.

Then why single out abortion? There are plenty of other sins to consider. So while I love the end result of tarring Obama and poking a stick in the eye of the abortion lovers I find this Priests reasoning bizarre and untenable.
