Canon Law Rules!

What do John Kerry, Joe Biden, and Nancy Pelosi have in common?

Many, many things.

First of all they are all Democrats, which is not a sin (yet), and they all support pro-choice and pro-abortion policies. And another thing, they are all Catholic.

According to Archbishop Raymond Burke, there is yet another thing that have in common:

They are all breaking Canon Law by recieving the Eucharist.

LifeSiteNews.com has the entire story and an exclusive interview with Archbishop Burke.

His comments bring a lot of light onto the "contraversial" subject of denying certain people the Eucharist. Seeing as it is an absolute Canon Law, I have no problem with it. These politicians are not only harming themselves with this sacrilege, but they are also sending a message to American Catholics that it is ok to be pro-choice and a good Catholic. Sorry guys, but that just isn't the case. The popular bumpersticker has it right: you CAN'T be pro-choice AND Catholic.

Pick one.

Fun with Excommunication!

It looks like the word "excommunication" is no longer a fav of the Vatican.

According to the Catholic News Service, Benny is lifting excommunications off a number of bishops. Apparently, these are the bishops that went rogue by refusing to adhere to Vatican II. And it seems like they still have a beef with Il Papa.

Another fun bit of excommunication-ness....

Vice President Joe Biden is also not excommunicated. Well at least not officially....yet.

But since our resident White House Catholic's own bishop refuses to give him communion, he sort of is excommunicated.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Plus sides of excommunication of Joe Biden:

1. This bishop is showing how much Church leaders are fed up with dissent in the pews.

2. It is irksome to see someone in such a spotlight misrepresent the Catholic faith so much.

3. He makes us look like a bunch of hypocrites.

4. The media (the liberals) is going to be soooo hyped up over this.

So this quasi-excommunication thing might actually work for us.

Bad sides:

1. Should people who voted for Biden be withheld communion, also?

2. The media (the liberals) is going to be soooo hyped up over this.

But overall, it is more important to protect the doctrines of the Church than to cater to the political and ideological whims of the masses.

And of course, our lovely heretics always have a chance to recant. :]
