How about all the Catholics that use birth control (look at your family size father) and the ones who are divorced and remarried?
one has to be quite foolish to let another man get in between their personal relationship with God
Just today the new Pope kicked him off an important Vatican committee because of statements like this, his influence will be nominal from now on. Go Francis!
11:11 you hit the nail on the head!
I can't ever imagine Jesus telling another person that they were not worthy to partake in anything he was involved in.
He who is without sin cast the first stone.
Agreed 12:39 and that seems to be why the Pope has had it with these guys.
The pastor of the parish I lived in before we moved here said that in the seminary, he was taught that communion should be denied only to someone who was "openly and notoriously living a sinful life." The example given by the instructor was Al Capone. Enough said.
12:39 Does that include homosexuals?
4:23 Yup.....sorry to disappoint. Pope already addressed this "Who am I to judge?
When the Church denies sacraments to pro-death penalty Republicans, (a stance at odds with church doctrine) then I might believe this isn't politically motivated.
Kick her out of the Church
8:36 I agree with that, so not a disappointment at all.
