It seems no matter how hard I try to move on, this topic just keeps coming back.
The repercussions are too important and the exchanges too interesting to ignore.

US politicians
warn of of anti-Catholic hate revival

“48 Catholic members of Congress have signed a letter warning that the church risks
bringing ‘great harm’ on itself if bishops decide to deny Communion to
legislators who support abortion rights or take other public positions that are
odds with church doctrine.”

“WASHINGTON, May 20 /U.S. Newswire/ — Judie Brown, president of American Life League,

Examination of Conscience

This should be expanded to include other issues that affecting Catholic consciences,
such as fair justice, feeding hungry, caring for the sick, clothing the naked, etc.
Unless the Church gets tough on all the issues, we’ll look like an organization
of hypocrites.

I have a weird deja vu feeling right now, as if I blogged about this kind of thing

match. *shrug*

Catholic Voters Shouldn’t Receive Communion, Say 2 Bishops
Prelates in Colorado and Oregon Extend Warnings Beyond Politicians

“COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado, MAY 14, 2004 (Zenit.org).- Bishop Michael Sheridan says
that Catholics should not receive Communion if they vote for politicians who defy
Church teaching by supporting abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia or stem-cell
research.”

When will we get beyond this poor excuse for justice?

BTW, this guy is pretty old. If he should die or retire while Bush is in office,
Dubya will get to replace him. That could be good news if a pro-life judge is installed.

the death penalty.

Deliver More Than Just DNA, Scientists Say
Wed May 12, 3:51 PM ET
By Patricia Reaney

“LONDON (Reuters) – Men can breathe a sigh of relief. Despite the specter of cloning and the birth of a fatherless mouse, scientists have
uncovered evidence that men play a more vital role in procreation than they may
have thought. Male sperm not only fertilizes the female egg, it also delivers male chromosomes and messenger RNA, molecules that carry codes that may help the embryo develop and grow.”

Supporting the death penalty is not pro-life.
