"Rev. Franklin Graham Challenges Cardinal Dolan to Excommunicate Governor Andrew Cuomo:"

   
  "In January 2019, prominent Evangelical Protestant, Rev. Franklin Graham, son of the renowned Rev. Billy Graham, sent "tweets" to N.Y. Cardinal Dolan urging him to excommunicate "Catholic" N.Y. Governor Cuomo for signing and celebrating the third-trimester abortion law. On Fox News,  Cardinal Dolan responded that excommunication "would be counter-productive" 'Cardinal Dolan spokesman pointed out that San Diego Bishop Leo Maher in 1989 barred Catholic State Assemblywoman Lucy Killea from receiving Communion.                                                                                                               

  
  She later appeared on the Phil Donohue Show to explain that she would not change her Faith or her abortion position. Killea won a seat in the California state senate. However, Cardinal Dolan cannot legitimately assume that Bishops Maher's refusal to allow Killea to receive Communion in 1989 was responsible for Killea's ... already had high name identification from serving 5 years on the San Diego City Council etc... Bishop Maher's action was necessary to teach Killea and the faithful the seriousness of the crime of abortion. Prudence is a virtue, but possible political ramification should not trump proclaiming truth.' This was a Cop-Out by Cardinal Dolan; a fatal mistake!]

In the past, some American bishops bad publicly excommunicated Catholics who opposed the bishop' efforts to racially integrate Catholic schools. Sadly, there are too few bishops willing to take this step over the civil rights injustice of our age, taking the lives of unborn children without due process. If a governor of a state can pave the way for even more killings of innocent unborn children and remain a member of the Catholic Church, the laity intuits that the crime of abortion cannot be a serious infraction. This reality, I believe, has given Catholics in the pew a green light to vote for Democrats who support abortion, same-sex "marriage," and assisted suicide.

"THIS IS A HISTORIC FATAL MISTAKE AND SCANDAL WHICH MUST BE EXPOSED"

THE CHURCH RECEIVES GOVERNMENT GRANTS, FAILS TO CENSURE PRO-ABORTION CINOPs:

"Catholic bishops and their lawyers want to maintain federal funding of their many charitable works. This may be understandable, but the long strings attached to government funds can be risky. Further, there would develop over time a natural reluctance to "bite the hand that feeds you.

  
  Long before the most current sex abuse scandal broke Washington D.C.'s now disgraced Cardinal McCarrick stated that, "When the bishops ask you to do something, to do it with the government, you make sure you're you are in good terms with government - with whoever's in power: (Wash. 10/1/04)

   
  In May of 2004, 48 mostly pro-abortion Catholic Democrat Congressmen, including current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, wrote to Cardinal McCarrick: "If Catholic legislators are scorned and held out for ridicule by Church leaders on the basis of a single issue, the Church will lose strong advocates on a wide range of issues that relate to the core of important Catholic social teaching."

   In 2004, as the Catholic bishops were deliberating on whether Holy Communion should be denied to pro-abortion politicians, then-cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, sent Cardinal McCarrick a letter noting," ... the minister of Holy Communion may find himself in the situation where he must refuse to distribute Holy Communion to some ... Regarding the grave sin of abortion or euthanasia, when a person's formal cooperation becomes manifest (understood, in the case of a Catholic policians, as his consistently campaigning and voting for permissive abortion and euthanasia laws), his Pastor should meet with him, instructing him about Church teaching, informing that he is not to present himself for Holy Communion until he brings to an end the objective situation of sin, and warning him that he will otherwise be denied the Eucharist."

   
 When "these precautionary measures have not had their effect or in which they were not possible," and the person in question, with obstinate persistence, still presents himself to receive the Holy Eucharist," the minister must refuse to distribute." ..."  G.H. Kubeck - The Cinop is a fraud.
