NCReporter - DISSENT

This appeared in the latest NCReporter: From CFC -Catholics for Free Choice- Prevention, not prohibition, is the way forward

The Catholic hierarchy’s approach to abortion is, as the Vatican most recently described it, “not negotiable.” So not negotiable, in fact, that Catholic public figures, commentators and policymakers who express pro-choice views, or even voice support for contraception, risk public admonition and denial of Communion. I am concerned when bishops threaten to use Communion as a political weapon. Thank God only a tiny minority is so extreme as to threaten such an abuse of the sacrament.

This is what the Church is supposed to teach! IT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE!
LIFE -we have to defend IT always! And I beg to differ that there exists a 'tiny minority' that would 'use Communion as a political weapon'. WE have BXVI!

Until that happens, lay Catholics must take the lead and keep up the pressure on our policymakers to introduce policies that will be effective in reducing the need for abortion.


LORD HAVE MERCY!
