I don't understand why its so hard for some of our Bishops to stand up and say boldly that Catholic politicians who vote against measures to curb abortion procedures and for measures to liberalize the abortion laws are NOT IN COMMUNION WITH CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH!!!
I swear, some of these bishops not only lack an Episcopal Spine, they seem to had their testicular fortitude surgically removed as well.
American Life League's Joseph Starrs writes a great article on this topic. In it he commends the courage and prophetic witness of Archbishop John Donoghue of Atlanta, Bishop Robert Baker of Charleston and Bishop Peter Jugis of Charlotte who said that Catholic politicians who support abortion were not to be admitted to Holy Communion.
The last sentence in their statement summed up their reason perfectly: "We undertake this action to safeguard the sacred dignity of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar, to reassure the faithful, and to save sinners."
