Commentary on Judie Brown’s Tough Love # 2

We continue with Judie’s article which has 15 sections and will be printed in bold letters and comments in regular letters. We repeat Section 2.

2.) "In a recent statement, Cardinal McCarrick took aim at Archbishop Raymond Burke’s treatise on why every person who distributes Holy Communion must be prepared to deny the sacrament to any public figure that is Catholic and is also pro-abortion. He said of the Archbishop Burke. 'I very much respect this position. It’s not mine.'"
(Now for the following GHK comments:)
Also in the Nov. 2004 issue of Crisis Magazine, the Archbishop of Denver wrote, “The abortion issue cannot be avoided. It is the central moral conflict of this moment in our nation’s history. Every abortion kills an unborn child. Every abortion leaves a woman emotionally scared. Every abortion is a grave act of violence. All these things fundamentally damage the common good.” If we ignore the abortion issue; The Church in America will become a basket case like it is in Canada and Europe. Hopefully, the American bishops and Catholic laity will not allow this to happen.

Recall in June, 2004, the US Bishops, meeting in Denver, made a statement on the role of the Catholic Church in politics which said that no Catholic group may give “awards, honors or platforms” to Catholics “who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles.” Congratulations to Archbishop Chaput when he severed ties with the Catholic Lawyer’s Guild in Colorado who gave an award named after St. Thomas More, the group’s patron, to the newly elected pro-abortionist Catholic Senator in Colorado. This is a particularly ironic and poignant action by the Archbishop for this BLOG, established in May of 2007 CINOPS BE GONE which is dedicated to the exposure and removal of Catholic in name only politicians. St. Thomas More is our model and patron.

Also at that time Pope John Paul II must get tired of repeating himself over the years, “that the office of the bishop is one in which there is a “clear duty” to instruct and encourage the laity to adhere to Catholic teaching “in every temporal affair.” The Pope quoting the teaching of the Second Vatican Council said, “There is no human activity – even of the temporal order – that can be withdrawn from God’s dominion.” Rome, Dec. 6, 2004(LifeSiteNews.com).

Pursue the truth and proclaim it. God is all good, loving and forgiving. He wants us to turn a negative into a positive. Look for a win-win for both sides. Check out the Catechism, the Code of Canon Law, the Roman Missal and Natural Law.

This matter of Communion for pro-choice Catholic politicians should have been resolved decades ago. You can speculate that had these politicians been Republicans they may have gotten the ax years ago. However, it was part of Catholic tradition to be Democratic. But that political party does not exist any more. And we all are in a bind.

It is a tragedy both spiritual and political. What is involved is the integrity of a political party today that promotes the two A’s, the two E’s and the two SS’s. (Abortion, Assisted-Suicide, Euthanasia, Embryonic Stem-Cell Research, Same-Sex Marriage.)

Is there a Catholic reason to vote for that party? You Decide!
