Joseph Hippolito<\/a> – June 2, 2021<\/p>\n For centuries, the Catholic Church represented unmitigated opposition to abortion. But as recent events seem to indicate, Pope Francis is preparing to sacrifice that historic position — and those it protects — on the altar of his globalist agenda.<\/p>\n On May 7, Cardinal Luis Ladaria issued a letter<\/a> from the Vatican discouraging American bishops from preventing elected officials who support abortion to receive Communion. Only the pope himself ranks higher as a theological authority than\u00a0Ladaria, prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.<\/p>\n Ladaria released the letter after several bishops publicly<\/a> said Joe Biden, the virtual president who supports abortion, should not receive Communion.\u00a0San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone even wrote a forceful<\/a> pastoral letter on the subject, without mentioning Biden.\u00a0But other bishops, such as Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington, D.C., said they would welcome Biden at Communion.<\/p>\n A church-going Catholic, Biden was denied<\/a> Communion by a priest in Charleston, S.C. while campaigning in that state\u00a0in 2019. Since replacing President Donald Trump, Biden has used legislation and executive action to give<\/a> abortion providers nearly $500 billion from taxpayers.<\/p>\n At that pace, Biden will have provided more federal funding for abortion than any President in American history.<\/p>\n The Catholic catechism describes<\/a> abortion a “moral evil,” quotes a pastoral document in calling it and infanticide “abominable crimes,” and demands excommunication for anyone involved in “formal cooperation.” Catholic canon law also states<\/a> that Catholics “persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion,” and that Catholics who “are conscious of grave sin” must not receive Communion “without previous sacramental confession.”<\/p>\n If giving $500 billion to abortion providers fails to constitute “formal cooperation” with a “moral evil,” then what does?<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Joseph Hippolito – June 2, 2021 For centuries, the Catholic Church represented unmitigated opposition to abortion.
