Bravo! May they all follow his lead. Catholic pro-abortion politicians shouldn’t be receiving anyway.

So my question is more along the lines of this…If you are a member of a Church, and you witness a mass attendee being denied the Eucharist, how does that make one feel? Is it something that is a sad event for you, or is it an accomplishment and something you feel glory about because you feel it defends the Church? Or is it mixed feelings? Or a reaction that I haven’t considered here.

Never been in the position. I think mixed. Sad/angry that a person advocating against Church teaching would even dare present themselves for Holy Communion. Pleased that the Priest upheld Catholic teaching by denying them it and that the Sacrament was not profaned. Hopeful that the message would make the person or others who agree with their position rethink and repent.

Thank you for your response. It seems fair and honest. It helps me have a better understanding of what it is like.
 
Good luck to this bishop on trying to enforce his stance. All he has to do now is send out a memo to his diocesan priests with a list of photos of those who are not allowed to recieve communion so that everyone knows who the culprits are.
 
What do you mean, cherry-picking?

The Church expressly prohibits the murder of the unborn.
The Church allows for the execution of those who pose a danger to society.
 
Both are wrong.
Catholics should have the energy to oppose more than one issue at a time.
Gun violence. Domestic violence. Drug abuse, alcoholism. The high cost for drugs needed by seniors. Affordable health care.
These all should be issues that we Catholics should address. They are moral issues.
 
Who says the death penalty is wrong? Certainly not the Church…

CCC 2267
“… (the) teaching of the Church does not exclude recourse to the death penalty, if this is the only possible way of effectively defending human lives against the unjust aggressor…”

It should certainly be rare, but it is just and moral if used correctly.
 
Better translated as ‘Thou shalt not murder.’

It’s an extension of the human right to self-defense.

See the Catechism for a better explanation than what I can offer.
 
Max, we don’t disagree about abortion.
I just want to see us Catholics fight for other things that are worthwhile. Peace, Brother. God bless You!
 
No, and they know they shouldn’t but convince themselves there’s no contradiction between Catholic teaching and their persistent support for abortion on demand.
 
The Death Penalty is not the taking of innocent life as in abortion and it should rarely be used, when protecting society from violent individuals who would kill innocent people.

Thou shall not kill.
There is no sub set stating whether it is innocent life or a non-innocent life.
 
So, soldiers who fought in WWII violated the commandment ?

What about a cop who shoots a murderer while trying to apprehend him ?

There is a difference between killing in defense and killing an innocent victim.

Capital punishment is a means of defending the innocent, when it’s necessary.
