I have been wanting to write something regarding the situation in Kansas, where dissident Catholic governor Kathleen Sebelius has been told to refrain from partaking of communion. Archbishop Naumann is another leader of the Church that I applaud for defending the truth of the Catholic faith.
Some may see this as a negative move on the part of the Church, however, if the Church is to remain faithful to the truth, then Church leaders must stand up on these issues. The Church clearly teaches that abortion is not acceptable and Governor Sebelius supports the worst form of abortion.
It is tiring to hear that a politician personally does not approve of abortion and then for them to pass laws that promote it. What kind of leadership is that? A politician should stand up for truth. Would it be acceptable for one to say they don’t approve of murder but they won’t legislate against it? Abortion is murder! That is a fact! You cannot as a faithful Catholic have it both ways!
The Archbishop has shown incredible charity in asking the governor and other pro abortion polititians to refrain from the Eucharist. Catholic teaching clearly states that if one is in the state of mortal sin that they must refrain from the Eucharist until they confess and repent from their sinful actions.
Thank you Archbishop Naumann for standing up for the faith.
Please pray for the Archbishop and also pray for Governor Sebelius’s change of heart on the issue of abortion.
Here is more on the subject.
