Monday Musings - We Must Not Politicize the Eucharist, Except....



[I know it is Friday but this could not wait. Someone has to raise this issue]

Please help me to understand.

The most frequently cited justification I have heard offered for not withholding Holy Communion from prominent Catholic politicians and public figures who obstinately persist in supporting laws and public policies contrary to Catholic Church teaching is “the unwillingness to politicize the Eucharist”.


Which must be more important to the Catholic Church and its members: the salvation of souls and protecting the Sacredness of the Eucharist or immigration reform? 

The future of our Church and the salvation of souls rest on answering  this question correctly.

  1. A public figure who advertises himself or herself as Catholic, and at the same time takes a public stance against non-negotiable Church teachings, has already the politicized the Eucharist. To ignore their public position sends the message that the Church doesn't really take her teachings seriously.

PRAYER OF ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
