I’m really growing impatient with all of this. We’re going on 2 weeks. Nothing happened on Sept. 5. I agree with the above. The election is only 43 days off. Being as spineless as he appears to be, Niederhauer will wait to after the elections to do or say anything. Perhaps its time to move on and see what happens to Biden and other fake Catholic politicians.
Contact numbers and email addresses are available on most if not all diocesan websites. Our duty is to let the bishops know we’re with them in adhering to Canon Law and their own voter guide.
Not excommunicated, but deprived of the Sacraments. Supporting abortion is a Mortal Sin. If an individual supports this, the only Sacrament one can receive in full community with the Church and only if one has a sincere change of heart and supports the teachings of the Church is the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
The BIGGGGGGGG PROBLEM Cristiano, is that it is not we, the adults who are suffering, not us whose physical lives are being snuffed out. It is not us enduring the physical pain and hardship. There is such an emotion and cognitve experience called Justifiable Anger. We sometimes experience this when we see an injustice being done to another. We have not only the right, to publicly express our concern and yes, judgement, when we do not see this injustice handled in a definite or definitive manner, but also the RESPONSIBILITY to publically express ourselves, especially in defense of those who cannot defend themselves. In this case it is the unborn.
has voted regarding abortion: public funding to Planned Parenthood, partial birth abortion, the most heinous method of aborting a child and an almost unending list of more slaps to the teachings of the Church she has felt politically comfortable in supporting. For Archbishop George H. Niederauer to even give the slightest intimation that there are some (Pelosi) who are in “confusion” and “don’t fully understand” what abortion is all about is at least an "outward"Wwho knows what dwells in the hearts of men?.) indication he doesn’t take Pelosi’s record seriously.Unfortunately Deac. we the public and the laity of the Catholic Church do not always know the full truth of what goes on behind doors. We can judge only what we see and what we are told. Perhaps if more Catholics who try to support the moral basis of the Church were to speak in louder voices, someone, somewhere may hear us and we may be given a opportunty to share in what is happening. Until then I personally can only give my opinions on the scandals seen, read and heard by myself. If I have judged wrongly, then I need to see all the facts to be able to make a more loving statement. Faith in God yes, faith in men, even hierarchy no, not until I am “given” the facts. In order to protect the Church from our “lowly” level we may err, but I think it is better to err, than sin by omission.
Many Catholic politicians made no secret of their firm support of Roe v. Wade. I know many Catholics agree with them. All the more reason for the Church to remind Catholics that in order to support Roe V. Wade, a person must deny the humanity of the unborn child/to believe that he.she has no rightt to live if the mother has decided that he/she should die, be executed, really, with the sancyion of the state. It logically follows, therefore, that if a child survives an abortion, no medical assiatnce is owed to him, even if he would survive . The distinction between abortion and infanticide, never more than specious, has now been shown to be a lie. The intention is to get rid of the child, and that intention of the mother must be absolutely respected.

Hi just found this about Biden.
I’m happy to see you caught what I call AB Niederauer’s and Pelosi’s “wiggle room” paragraph. How stupid does he think we Catholics are?Here is the part of the Archbishop’s address that disturbs me. He stated, “What of Catholics who find themselves questioning the teaching of the church or experiencing questions?” His answer was,"…they are welcome to partake of Holy Communion as long as they are striving to understand what the church professes and to resolve confusion and doubt."
Does that mean we can all rationalize away the seriousness of our favorite differences with the church and still receive communion? For example, if a person were taught it is a mortal sin to steal from their boss but rationalized that the boss didn’t need the money so in this case it is okay. This person is “questioning the teaching of the church” and during this period of striving to understand why it is wrong he would be welcome to receive communion.Of course, the longer this confused person can stay away from his confessor the better…right Nancy?
