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.
