National clergy group supports Archbishop Burke’s Communion refusal
The Confraternity of Catholic Clergy, a national association of 600 priests and deacons, has issued a statement endorsing Archbishop Raymond Burke's position that clergy must deny Holy Communion to public figures who openly support abortion or euthanasia.
Part of the statement reads: "Archbishop Burke equally addresses politicians on both sides of the aisle. Whether Democrat, Republican or independent; executive, legislative or judicial branches; all public officials who publicly support, promote or give assistance to others to commit evil are cooperators in that evil."

ReplyDeleteThis is good!
ReplyDeleteBill and Esther,
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of these priests and deacons. We all need to stand as one united in the faith and support the teachings of our faith and the Magestirium of the Catholic Church.
I am proud of those bishops who, like Bishop Burke support the teachings of our faith and the magestirium, but am embarassed by those who don't. We need to pray for those who are don't because they will lead many souls astray and will pay the consequences when they meet their Maker one day.
ANY priest, deacon or seminarian in good standing and loyal to the Magisterium is welcome to join the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy.
ReplyDeleteWe also ask and need the support (prayers and donations) of the solid lay faithful who also defend Holy Mother Church
