Pro-life in the upcoming election
From Catholics and Obama
It is very bad theology to suggest that the controversy over the reception of Holy Communion by Catholic politicians who actively support the abortion license is a matter of “using the sacrament as a political tool.” On the contrary, it is a question of maintaining the integrity of the church’s central act of worship, and of calling Catholics with an ill-formed sense of the moral requirements of both faith and reason to a serious examination of conscience. As for divisiveness, well, there are times when bishops are morally required to be “divisive,” as when Catholic bishops deliberately “divided” their flocks on the question of the segregation of Catholics schools by excommunicating segregationists.
