Words of Fr. Corapi...Gotta love him!

Words of Father Corapi...
for all my politician friends and relatives and those who vote for them

"Catholic office holders, whether presidents, senators, congress men or women, or judges at any level must adhere to Catholic teaching or run the risk of separating themselves from the Body of Christ.

In such egregious and chronic cases of gross moral evil such as instituting and perpetuating abortion and the structures of sin that surround it, it is quite probable that such Catholic officials are excommunicated in virtue of the acts themselves.

A latae sententiae (automatic) excommunication is likely triggered when they vote for laws, funding, and structures that enable and perpetuate such obvious and egregious evil (Cf. Code of Canon Law, Canons 1364,1398; Canon 1329, par. #2).

They are in turn forbidden from approaching the sacraments as the result (Cf. Catechism of Catholic Church #1463)."

"It is not morally possible for any Catholic to support abortion, euthanasia, fetal stem cell research, human cloning, or same-sex marriage. There are no ways around this, no justifications whatever.

Why? For the simple reason that the Church holds these things to be intrinsically evil. They are evil in themselves, and no circumstances or subjective conditions can ever change that."

~Enough said, Thank you Fr. Corapi you always know how to get straight to the point and the heart of the matter!

Archbishop Chaput of Denver said "If you are Catholic and disagree with a teaching of the Church, change your mind!"
