He is against witholding Communion to pro-deathers.
Some bishops have stated that they will deny Eucharist to Catholic politicians who have supported abortion legislation. Eucharist is God’s gift to us, God’s presence among us. It is a most precious part of our Catholic heritage. I strongly oppose using Eucharist as a weapon.
"Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord." 1 Corin. 11:27
This is infuriating! It is such a twisted statement that I am appalled!
For me, a sure sign of left-leaning is the use of the word 'Eucharist' rather than 'the Eucharist'.
It is probably a correct usage, but is usually used by liberals. Eucharist as thanksgiving is different than 'The Eucharist' as in the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ.
I'm just about fed up with the whole bunch.

I have a sense that he is not conservative except when it comes to protecting priest misdeeds...then he can certainly hide well behind the Church.....
my other conern.....we had a jubilee here a few years ago...it was a very dignified event with many priests and Bishops and nuns attending.....
it was a High Mass ....
lo and behold....after a two hour Mass who do they drag out before the final blessing...the final blessing being when the Mass is over....they have our very liberal abortion promoting Governor speak, with a captive audience..
this governor couldn't even forbide partial birth abortion....he stands for everything the Catholic church should be against....of course the election was just a few weeks away.....
I found that to be very telling.... not that I promote forcing women to have babies...I don't.....I just think we would have much less abortion if our leaders for the past 40 yrs had been clearly against it....not just mamby-pamby against it..
