Agreed. There doesn't seem to be any consistency on from diocese to diocese. And not only on this subject. My six year old sister was confirmed last year. At six. She hasn't even made her first communion yet.
To: eastsider
Objectively, yes. I can't speak to culpability, only to objective circumstances.

I think Feinswine is Jewish, no? If so, that's even a better reason not to call herself Catholic! The nerve!

We passed out 25,000 of these
Catholic Family Association of America Divine Mercy Prayer Project cards at the 2002 March For Life in Washington DC:
In addition, we had thousands more of these cards distributed directly to constituents in South Dakota, and hundreds of individuals downloaded the Divine Mercy Prayer Project PDF file to print out and pass out on their own.
We received pledges for 7000 hours of prayer for the conversion of Daschle.
Part of the Divine Mercy Prayer Card is a post card to Bishop Carlson too (see the text on the reverse side of the card above), and judging by the number of postcards returned to us, we assume Bishop Carlson received a commensurate amount of cards and pledges of prayer specifically for him, to have the strength to defend the faith.
Tim Chichester, President of the Catholic Family Association of America, has spoken directly to Bishop Carlson, and specifically recommended this type of interdict (just short of formal excommunication.)
Unfortunately, just the Divine Mercy Prayer Project for Senator Daschle (printing costs, shipping costs, etc.)exhausted all the financial and time reserves of our small pro-family grassroots Catholic organization. Yet judging by this development, its all been worth it!!!
Similar Divine Mercy Prayer Card PDF files are already prepared and ready for download, printing, and mass dissemination, if only some faithful individuals would take it upon themselves for each individual politician named on the subpage at http://www.cathfam.org/dmpp.html

Now, if only some rabbis would speak up and ask Hillary and Kerry to stop calling themselves Jewish.

Thanks for the ping. I have been on a long campaign to deal with pro abortion demo-catholics. With the recent death of my wife I had an opportunity to speak with Archbishop Keleher in person. He supports this effort 100% as did Archbishop Strecker before him. He also has called for a Plenary council of American Bishops to take real action against pedophile priests.
The Souix Falls Bishop has the right idea on Tommy boy....The Boston Catholics have a long way to go IMHO. Rush just metioned this on the air as well.

[Cardinal Ratzinger's] Doctrinal Note marks at least the beginning of the end of the Vatican's toleration of what the pope's biographer George Weigel has called "Cuomoism" in the American Church: the effort to finesse abortion by declaring oneself personally opposed but politically supportive of laws allowing abortion. Catholics have a "duty to be morally coherent," the Doctrinal Note declares, and the Catholic fight on the life issues--abortion, euthanasia, and cloning--is not some merely prudential question, to be decided by political give and take. The Catholic Church doesn't take political positions--except when politics intrudes into something, like the right to life, that ought to be beyond the power of politicians. The "duty to be morally coherent" simply means that you can't have it both ways. Which ought to put a real crimp in the style of certain Democrat politicans who call themselves "Catholic," notably including that monumental casuist, Mario Cuomo. Following Cuomo's example, many of his fellow Dems (and some Pubblies, too) think they can get away with speaking "out of both sides of their mouth." Truly I hope the pressure from the bishop makes Daschle squirm. He's got it coming, and he owes his constituents some clear evidence of personal integrity -- or not, as the case may be.
Thanks for this notable post, CaptainJustice.

It would be one thing is the bishop had said that he does not consider Daschle to be Catholic. It is another for him to demand that Daschle comport his speech to the bishop's views. That strikes me as well, un-American. I suspect the bishop is getting beyond himself here, and that most Americans don't agree with his action, including Catholics.

Last year, after asking me about divorce/remarriage/communion, my first cousin chided me for speaking the Catholic truth, telling me that his pastor had told him it was okay. When I asked him if it was the same pastor who had just been removed in a scandal-related incident, he quickly changed the subject.
To: Torie
No...I think it's about whether you can SAY you are a Catholic and BEHAVE differently (from Catholicism). Like...I'm for partial birth abortion, and I'm a Catholic. Sounds like this bishop gets it....and no one is interfering with little Tommie's First Amendment Speech rights....there just telling him there are CONSEQUENCES!

Taking communion in a state of sin is forbidden.
I guess you meant unrependent sin, didn't you? We are all in a state of sin.
