My email to Bp. O'Malley

To: Archbishop Sean P. O'Malley - I'm a 67 yr old Catholic grandmother - a convert of 50 years - and I am hurt and angry about your approval of John Kerry being graced with receiving the Eucharist. Our bishops are going to have to meet this challenge sooner or later. Those faithful who are just now coming back to the Church after the horrible embarassment of the recent homosexual scandal do not deserve to be slapped in the face with another scandal because their bishops prefer to hide from their duties as Shepherds of Christ's people. It was a babe in the womb who first recognized our Lord when Mary visited Elizabeth. How can you tell the people that it's OK... that it's right and holy for those who legislate destroying life in the womb ... to receive the body of our Lord in their mouths? It's not true! Truth, as the bishop of Poitiers wrote hundreds of years ago, is its own sufficient witness, "and the more it is assailed, the more evident it becomes." Now is the time to stand firm with the truth the Church teaches, not later.
