For an ‘Obamacon,’ Communion Denied
4th June 2008
It’s amazing how leftoids don’t like rules when it’s their ox being gored (no pun intended – I think).
For at least one priest, Kmiec’s support for a pro-choice politician made him a willing participant in a grave moral evil.
Well, duh. It has been the constant position of the Catholic church that abortion is murder. Supporting a politician who advocates freedom of abortion is morally equivalent to supporting a politician who advocates freedom to murder.
Would Cohen feel different if communion were denied to a politician who supported lynching black people? You know he would. Of course, he would whine that the situations weren’t comparable. Perhaps for him they aren’t. But for a Catholic, they are, and always have been.
Murder is murder. If supporting politicians who advocate freedom to murder isn’t “a grave moral evil”, then I don’t know what is.
