Yeah, we can't judge but we can hold people accountable if they claim to have faith. Endorsing murdering millions of babies is not Christian in the least.
It is not for you to judge. Especially when you worship the moral failure that is Trump.
Revelation 21:8
Do you read? Not judging in the sense you are suggesting, but knowing quite a bit about Catholicism, I can pretty much assume she is in a position to not be able to receive communion on her abortion stance alone. And to continue to sin with the same sin when not intentional to change does not qualify one as receiving absolution under the eyes of God. Not me, just the Church talking.
Perhaps sometimes you should. When one pops off and proclaims their Christian belief and then everything they do disqualifies them, their identity IS NOT in Christ. There are times we can judge. This word simply means to determine and discern something, and with her it's pretty obvious.
Well, you don’t seem to know as much about Catholicism as you think, especially since you seem to be using its teachings for political purposes.
Dude, I know Catholicism. Trust me. And there's nothing wrong with teachings for political purposes. And perhaps you might clarify where I am off-base in its teaching AND knowledge itself.
The decision on whether to receive communion, the most important sacrament, is a private matter. Politicizing an individual’s choice Is dangerous, and if you knew the history of the Catholic Church, any time it gets involved in politics it usually turns out poorly. This could then lead to denying communion to politicians who support the use of contraception, the death penalty, climate change deniers, people that supported the Iraq war, all opposed by the Pope. So what happens is that people like you turn something as sacred as communion into a partisan football match.Dude, I know Catholicism. Trust me. And there's nothing wrong with teachings for political purposes. And perhaps you might clarify where I am off-base in its teaching AND knowledge itself.
I don’t disagree with you. Abortion SHOULD be condemned as morally wrong. Just like adultery and other sins. But the question is about whether or not she should receive communion. That’s a different matter.
No sir, apparently you are aware that in the Catholic religion there is mortal and venial sin. Voting for abortion and acknowledging its acceptability in America is a mortal sin and cannot be condoned through one confession and the receiving thereafter of communion. The Catholic communion is different than other protestant denomination in that they believe that it is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus, therefore no one in the state of mortal sin can receive it unless they have gone to confession and receive absolution and have a firm resolve to not engage in that sinful act again. There has to be that firm conviction to not engage in that sin-a sincere attitude to change. She hasn't done that yet. She had been a promoter of Planned Parenthood and abortion for as long as I can remember. That's the tip of the iceberg concerning her. So, you can engage with me in small talk and try and defend her, but it isn't defendable.
Okay, that's funny!! Don Quixote...
Yep, you’re confused. Voting isnt a sin. Otherwise everyone would have to go to confession since every politician is a crook. Many hospitals perform abortions and provide contraceptions. Therefore voting for any funding would be a sin. And you must not be aware of the Hyde Amendment which prohibits any public funds to be used for abortions.
I see this was a well thought out response. Haha

This is what happens when layman try to politicize the Eucharist. It’s shameful. Good job finding a priest that supports your political position. There are others. It’s not a new issue but only comes up during presidential elections.
Oh brother, it's so much deeper than that. You're missing the spiritual side of things. You are simply looking at the worldly, horizontal approach vs the vertical spiritual approach. It can certainly get deep and profoundly complicated. The bottom line is the intent of the will of the individual and they are the ones who have to deal with the consequences, if not in this life, then in the afterlife. No excuses then. My decision on a candidate has always been their stance on abortion. The taking of a human life is the worst of sins. These politicians can have a history of abuse of power, of greed and lying... but the root of my decision is abortion. It's the greatest of intrinsic evils. Bottom line: if you side with the group that promotes abortion, then you are held liable in your own heart and soul. You are the one that has to deal with this sin and the consequences of it. It's a matter of eternal life or eternal death. Whether you hate orange man or not, he sides for life. You choose.
You are all over the being seen being Christian side of religion (which isn't what Jesus was about). He worked behind the scenes with the downtrodden and needy. When I see a celebrity make a donation on national TV that doesn't impress me in the least. They aren't coming close to donating 10% of their wealth.
Thanks for sharing this. This is the most powerful message I've come across. It was this site, www.uncletom.com that got me banned at the scoop. Would you make another post using this video because I think it's been embedded into this thread that went tangent. It's so important to watch and see and learn from.
I HAD to skip the part of the lady in the church. It was simultaneously cringe worthy and infuriating.
Thanks but I don’t need spiritual advice from a chiropractor that worships an adulterous self absorbed huckster. You and Donald can ride off in the same boat. Good luck with that.
