Bishop Raymond Burke of La Crosse, WI — soon to be the archbishop of St. Louis — has decreed that pro-abortion politicians are not to be given Holy Communion.
Thank you, Bishop Burke, for “speaking truth to power”: advocating legalized abortion is indeed a “manifestly grave sin”.
I’ll ask canonist Pete Vere to comment on legal aspects of this action.
Thanks to buddy John Griffin for sending the article.

Hoorah!
Papabile?
Yes, just like Cardinal Bruskewicz (sp?).
What a wonderfull thing to hear a priest with a real biblical stance on homosexualaity.
the one exception I would make is if they did thieir pentance.that would be a retraction puplicly of abortion.
