“...there is a difference between an example and a specimen.
Yep. Specimens are instructive, too.
Kind of like Nancy Pelosi.
It has been. It just hasn’t been enforce publicly.
Actually the pro-abort politicians self-excommunicate themselves by supporting abortion.
This comes from the pro-life movement here in America.
In the beginning, Catholic Democrats were opposed to abortion.
But, we have seen them sell their souls to gain power.
It is those of us in the pews, the laity, who are calling for our bishops to stand as strong for life as we are and call to account those who support abortion, even if they believe they do so indirectly or unintentionally.
I am all for denying politicians, any Catholic, communion if it is publicly known that they support abortion.
I hope it happens. Sadly, there are many in my own church who would be denied.
Paul warns us that we bring judgement upon ourselves if we eat and drink unworthily.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Okay.
You have posted this quote in numerous threads as though you believe it absurd or an indictment of Archbishop Chaput and the Church. It only illustrates how completely out of touch you are with the general concept of personal responsibility and the Church's doctrines of service and personal accountability.
Really, Alex, give it a rest. Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In your 10+ years of repetitious Church bashing on Free Republic you haven't moved one Catholic one inch away from the Church or yourself one inch closer to God. Even some of your more vitriolic anti-Catholic cohorts have seen the folly of this and ceased or greatly reduced their attacks.
Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, the Kennedys, yadda yadda
Tell me what do you see, Natural Law?

Engaging in a little weekend pareidolia?
It would take a proper scatologist to decipher your posts.
