Cardinal Raymond Burke: Deny Holy Communion to Abortion Supporting Pols


Cardinal Burke is a courageous Catholic Bishop with a formula from Canon Law that would end legal abortion if other Bishops were to likewise comply .
----------------------------------

As the Irish parliament considers legalizing some abortions, Cardinal Raymond Burke says that local Catholic politicians who support the procedure should be refused Holy Communion in hopes of inspiring their conversion.


“There can be no question that the practice of abortion is among the gravest of manifest sins,” Cardinal Burke told the Irish newspaper Catholic Voice in an interview published Feb. 1.


Once “a Catholic politician has been admonished that he should not come forward to receive Holy Communion,” the cardinal added, “as long as he continues to support legislation which fosters abortion or other intrinsic evils, then he should be refused Holy Communion.”
