Nebraska bishop: Catholic politicians who support Planned Parenthood should be denied Communion

[Abyssinia]

Though not “formally excommunicated,” Catholic politicians who support Planned Parenthood or other measures facilitating abortion are “placing themselves outside of the pale of the Church’s doctrine” and should be denied Communion, says Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Nebraska.

The bishop told LifeSiteNews that Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider, should be seen an enemy of the Catholic Church because “it advocates doctrines, immoral activities which are contrary to … the teachings of Almighty God.”

As much as I applaud this bishop, it is a shame in a way that this is newsworthy.

I would agree that on a site like LifeSiteNews, it should be pretty much preaching to the choir. But in general people do not seem to understand what Planned Parenthood stands for, or they don’t want to know. Most of the news I read is related to the Church, so I was very startled to learn recently that Planned Parenthood (and their supporters) gets mostly good press. Every little bit of truth that can be spread, as redundant as it may seem, is helping I think.
