Prominent Priest: Voting for Democrats? You May Not Qualify for Receiving Absolution
“I’ll be ready to hear the confession of those who vote Democrat, but we are trained that in the absence of repentance, absolution has to be withheld,” Father Frank Pavone wrote on Twitter.com. Pavone is the courageous National Director of Priests for Life. Courageous priests are a big rarity.
Kamala Harris: “Most Openly Anti-Catholic Bigot on a National Ticket in Modern Times”
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called the Democratic vice-presidential contender Kamala Harris last week at Fox News – quote - “the most openly anti-Catholic bigot to be on a national ticket in modern times.” Gingrich cited Harris's treatment of U.S. District Judge Brian Buescher during his Senate confirmation hearing. Harris asked Buescher about his involvement in the Knights of Columbus. Quote, “Were you aware that the Knights of Columbus opposed a woman’s right to choose when you joined the organization?" Harris also asked Buescher if he had "ever, in any way, assisted with or contributed to advocacy against women’s reproductive rights." For Gingrich, this was an "unconstitutional religious test for judicial service."
“Keep Practicing”
On Joseph Biden's presidential campaign webpage, there is a separate page called joebiden.com. In the first sentence, Biden calls himself a – quote - “practicing Catholic.” This reminds of a famous cartoon produced during one of John Paul II’s visits to the United States. It showed protesters holding up banners which said, “I am a practicing Catholic and I am in favour of abortion” etc. On the cartoon, John Paul II replied, “Keep practicing and you may eventually get it right.”
Francis As Climate Change Expert
The text briefly mentions Francis, obviously not for religious reasons but to promote the climate change saga. Quote, “In his encyclical, Laudato Si, Pope Francis directed the global community to raise awareness about the growing climate change crisis.” This is a sign that Francis’ attempt to gain political relevance has manoeuvered himself into religious irrelevance. At the same time, he is used for political gains by politicians who say this:
@Liam Ronan: If a man (Joe Biden) cannot profess he comports himself in strict accord with the religious doctrine he avers to before the very Face of God then he is an unmitigated liar and not to be trusted at all in any matter.
@Liam Ronan: Can. 751 Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith...
