The pro-abortionists never learn do they? Refusing communion is “A great disservice to the centuries of good work the Church has done” code word for the Pope is preventing us from doing harm to the church! Where’s the USCCB?!?!?!?!?!? Come on bishops speak out!

I think that someone needs to tell these clowns that the Catholic Church isn’t a club it’s true Church of God founded by Christ Himself!

Who do these people think they are? Why do they think religion has nothing to do with actions in normal life? I guess our Catholic faith must be a mere delusion. :rolleyes:

And what exactly does the sex abuse crisis have to do with abortion and Catholics like you who daily contribute to the murder of millions of defenseless children?

But hey what do I know. 🤷

Leahy has nothing else he can say except to trot out the old (and by now becoming daily more stale) spectre of clerical misconduct as ‘eminence grise’. Leahy is like the rest of the compromised rabble. Seriously, this man needs to get a life.

I guess these Democrats feel as though as Catholics, they have more authority than the Pope - How sad!

No one on this forum should be surprised. Don’t you know politicians are more important than anyone, including the church fathers.
 
There is indeed a vast difference between sin (which we all have a proclivity to do) and being an authority figure in a position to teach (lead) others (especially the young) - to sin.

I agree that the Code speaks of “automatic excommunication”, but if the sin (and thus the leading of others to do thusly) is public, that it is logical that the repudiation be done in the public arena as well.

Where is the exemplar of the Princes of the Church (USCCB)?

Remember, we are a Republic that has forgotten that our government is by, of and for the people. As Franklin warned on the steps of Independence Hall, we have lost our Republic due to our own negligence, disinterest and ignorance.

Politicians are now placed in office by funds from special interest groups and once tasting the power of governing, become corrupted by a lust for even greater power.

The people that they pledge to serve have little or no voice on the issues that concern them and quickly find that their elected officials are beholden to groups that do not in anyway represent their own views and convictions.

Republicans promised that if Catholics voted for them they would fight for life, be more socially conscious and environmentally sound. Well, it did not happen.

Democrats vowed that their social and environmental policies outweighed their moral bankruptcy. Who will care if everyone makes the same income regardless of effort and the planet is as clean as the Garden of Eden if we all spend eternity in hell?

The truth is…there will be no “Messiah President” and Washington cannot save us.

Only our fervent prayers through Mary’s Most Immaculate Heart and in the Most Holy Name of Jesus will allow us to live in the peace that Christ Himself promised us.

The politicians act like the Church of God is a club and the sacraments are paychecks for freeloading. 😦

Pray for the Church.

If you want to read which of the democratic congressmen who got on board with this statement, here is the link. The problem with the rationale of their letter is that they believe that they should follow the guidelines of the Constitution and the heck with the Catholic church. Well, the Constitution of the US, no matter how good it is is 200 plus years old, written by human beings capable of being amended…and it has been a couple of dozen of times. The church was founded by Christ, 2000 years ago and by direct succession our Pope Benedict is her shepherd. He is there to lead his sheep, and his sheep know his voice. However, the sheep who are led astray or go astray do not heed his voice and need our prayers. Congressmen no matter how many votes they get, are not the leaders of our church…God is! Personally, a little fear of God is what all of these people need. Not some political correct statement so they can keep their jobs. Personally eternity is longer than any congressional term.
Their estrangement of the church is self-inflicted…not by our Pope or our bishops. They just don’t get it. Probably have poor catechesis entirely on the issue.😦
 
All we need is one Bishop to stand up and officially excommunicate one of the gang of 18. That would get the ball rolling.

They think the rules in every instance apply to everyone but them.
Such arrogance.

You do not know the half of it. I saw a blurb out on Drudge that I am trying to verify now. :mad:

These Politicians are spouting Americanism which was condemned by Pope Leo XIII in 1899.
The Bishops… remember what St. John Chrysostom said about Bishops. Pray for them & pray some more.
 
I posted this in my group on MySpace but I think it works here as well.

Dear Stupid Democrats; and I say this as a fellow Democrat,

Separation of Church and State is an American belief, however when you identify yourself as Catholic you identify yourself as standing in whole with the Church. This is not an option, this is not a privilege, this is a responsibility, one that you take solely when you become Catholic. Our patriotic beliefs do not trump this, it doesn’t make it ok to state other wise, to be honest it doesn’t do much of anything but say that you can be outside of Church thinking, making sure the Church doesn’t run you. Now obviously Church law is that you either are with us or against us, and in choosing to deny the basic truths of the your are denying the Church, ergo voluntarily excommunicating yourself from the Church. Now if you can’t accept your voluntary excommunication I would suggest you put more time into what you supposedly believe and less into what you think is gonna get your dumb *** reelected. So basically either repent for your stupid remarks and ideas or become Protestant, I can guarantee it will be easier on you that way than the route your taking right now.

Pope Benedict XVI is a bishop.

Brothers and sisters, do you ever wonder why Popes Paul VI, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI never excommunicated politicians who support the legalized mass murder of unborn children? :confused:

Keep and spread the Faith.
 
I like Taranto’s comments about this on Best of the Web :
Is the Pope American?
What a delightful display of arrogance. These congressmen are essentially accusing the pope of being un-American–that is, they are questioning his patriotism. Or they would be, anyway, if the pope were American. In fact, the pope is a leader of a foreign state, and they are demanding, as Americans, that he come to heel. What are they, a bunch of neocons?

Of course, what they are really doing is defying the pope’s authority, as leader of the Catholic Church, to make and enforce pronouncements about the obligations of a Catholic. In no way does this offend American pluralism. Pluralism allows for a variety of views on abortion and other subjects, and American politicians are free to follow or reject the teachings of their church, as they see fit.

What these congressmen–among them Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut, Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island and Joe Baca of California–are saying is that at least when it comes to abortion, they are liberals first and Catholics second. That probably reflects their constituents’ priorities, and it’s totally kosher from the standpoint of American political values. But it’s a bit much for them to demand the pope’s blessing.

I know this may sound kind of harsh but are the Bishop’s worried more about the collection plates?:confused:
