No communion for Obama supporters

A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for Barack Obama because the Democratic president-elect supports abortion, and supporting him "constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil."

The Rev. Jay Scott Newman said in a letter distributed Sunday to parishioners at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Greenville that they are putting their souls at risk if they take Holy Communion before doing penance for their vote.

"Voting for a pro-abortion politician when a plausible pro-life alternative exists constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil, and those Catholics who do so place themselves outside of the full communion of Christ's Church and under the judgment of divine law. Persons in this condition should not receive Holy Communion until and unless they are reconciled to God in the Sacrament of Penance, lest they eat and drink their own condemnation."

And it is lunatics such as this that pervert faith in the name of religion.

This maniac needs to be defrocked and ousted from any position of any semblance of authority for this asinine lunacy.

However, this is the catholic church we are talking about - the most repressed and repressive, atrocity committing, hypocritical organization in the history of mankind (even the shrub and the cabal haven't managed to be as despicable yet ... close, but not yet, nor even the NAZIs of the 1930s and 1940s in Germany) - so it is not surprising that this 'priest' came out with this horseshit.
