Will Sibelius like what her Maker says at the moment of her death?
The Pope could stop this crapola overnight if he threatened to ex-communicate all these pro abortion politicians.
Why isn’t our church excommunicating Catholics that espouse and advance abortion?

On a Saturday afternoon, in Washington, D. C., Senator John Kerry’s campaign manager visited the Cardinal of the Catholic Cathedral.
He told the Cardinal that John Kerry would be attending the next day’s sermon, and he asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Kerry to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling
Kerry a saint.
The Cardinal replied, “No. I don’t really like the man, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over a certain number of Kerry’s views.”
Kerry’s manager then said, “Look, I’ll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 to your church if you’ll just tell the congregation you see Kerry as a saint.”
The Cardinal thought about it and said, “Well, the church can use
the money, so I’ll work your request into tomorrow’s sermon.”
As Kerry’s campaign manager promised, Senator Kerry appeared for the Sunday sermon and seated himself prominently at the edge of the main isle.
And, during the sermon, as promised, the Cardinal pointed out
that Senator Kerry was present.
Then the Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation — “While Senator
Kerry’s presence is probably an honor to some, he is not my favorite person.
Some of his views are contrary to those of the church, and he tends to flip-flop on many other views.
John Kerry is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a thumb sucker, and a nit-wit. John Kerry is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief.
John Kerry is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed.
He turned on his buddies in Vietnam.
He wrote a book and portrayed himself in the best light when he was a traitor to his fellow servicemen.
He has lied about his military record and had the gall to put himself in for a medal (including one that does not even exist).
He married for money and is using it to lie to the American people.
He also has a reputation for shirking his senatorial obligations both here, in
Washington, and in Massachusetts.
He simply is not to be trusted.”
The Cardinal completed his view of Kerry with, “But, when compared to Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator Kerry is a saint.”
Other bishops, even the very best ones, have, like Bp. Naumann, only made statements to the effect that these politicians are in error. Some go so far as to say that pro-abort Catholic politicos ought to voluntarily refrain from receiving Communion. None --- other than Martino --- have actually gone so far as to enforce Canon Law.
Why are these bishops themsselves, in effect, scofflaws? Some will say a Bishop who actually bars a "manifest grave sinner" from Communion is politicizing the Eucharist. This is not so. Rather, the Eucharist is politicized and profaned by men and women who call themselves "Catholics in good standing" while persisting in what the Second Vatican Council called "abominable crimes."
Some will worry that denying reception of the Eucharist would be treating erring politicians un-pastorally. This is not so. A person who commits abortion, or is a material accomplice, and is turned away from Communion, is finally receiving the pastoral care he needs: the un-finesse-able message that he is in the gravest spiritual danger and that he needs to repent and be freed of his cooperation in this filthy and damnable sin.
When will Archbishop Naumann love Kathleen Sebelius enough to tell her the truth about her condition, and act to prevent her from committing further acts of sacrilege?
Pray for the bishops to turn from their own complicity.
All of us who have been silent have been complicit.
People like Pelosi, Biden and Sebelius are not Catholics or even people of faith. They do not believe in any of the spiritual or moral tenets of the church. They do not even try to do God's will. The best that can be said is that they are Catholics like Al Capone was a Catholic.
techincally, you can't just believe in only what you want to believe and say you belong to a particular religion....you're either in or not in......
if someone wants to make up the rules as they go, there is the unitarian universalist church.....they worhip everything and NOTHING at the same time, whatever suits them...
Call your Senators and relay your distress over this nomination.
