By Rich KozlovichHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said during her press briefing Thursday she can use her “own judgment” regarding the decision to receive Holy Communion, in light of the controversy over the fact that she supports legalized abortion and legislation to help more women obtain abortions.
CNSNews.com noted Pelosi’s response to a reporter’s question that “the U.S. archbishops and the Bishops’ Conference … doesn’t want to … allow you to receive communion” —“No, they don’t”...... When asked for her reaction to the Catholic bishops’ consideration of a document regarding whether politicians who claim to be Catholic, and yet support abortion and euthanasia and work to pass legislation that promotes them, should receive Holy Communion, Pelosi stated, “I think I can use my own judgment on that.” “But, I’m pleased with what the Vatican put out on that subject,” she added. “Did you read that?” “It will be up to the individual priests?” the reporter asked.“No,” Pelosi answered. “It basically said, ‘Don’t be divisive on the subject.’”
His solution? He wants dialogue between these abortion supporting politicians and the Bishops and others. Really? What's that mean? Does it mean the Bishops will confront them and demand they recognize the graveness of the sin and repent? Not likely, so his solution means nothing, resolves nothing and upholds heresy!
(Editor's side bar: The word repent means "to turn about", which in practical terms means not only would they have to stop doing wrong, but to then overturn the wrong done. RK)
Let's explore this.
As the article point out, “The Church teaches that abortion or euthanasia is a grave sin”, and yet we find Jesuit Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer has warned, [paraphrasing] "the contentious nature of the controversy create risks and the debate could become a source of discord rather than unity within the episcopate and the larger church in the United States."
So the faithful should ignore what the Church calls a grave sin in favor of the latest political philosophical flavor of the day. Do I understand that correctly?
Okay, so his position, and it clearly also is the Pope's position, means what? It means politics overrides the Church's, strongest condemnations of what is considered one of the most grave sins, abortion. There was a reason why the Jesuits were expelled and suppressed on more than one occasion, and finally in 1759 the Pope reluctantly suppressed them completely for a time, and the reason was? They were then, as they are now, in reality a political order versus a religious order, meddling in the political and economic affairs of the nations they infested. What it really means is the Jesuits and the Pope are heretics. See...simple! Now, how do you remove a heretical Pope? You don't!
Finally, based on what they say and do, I think it would be nice if they answered these questions:
- Do Pelosi and the other abortion supporting Catholic politicians believe in the Church's position on what constitutes sin?
- Does the Pope and the Jesuits really believe in the Church's position on sin?
- Do they all believe the current political philosophical flavor of the day overrides Church laws, which are supposed to be incumbent on all Catholics?
- Do they all believe the current political philosophy of the day expiates sin?
- Do they all believe receiving communion is more important than not sinning?
- Do they all really believe in the concept of sin?
- Do they all really believe the Church represents God?
- Do they all really believe in God?
- If they do, do they really believe God isn't watching and judging by his immutable standards?
Imagine that!
