"Communion means less in Protestant churches and is not the focus of all worship as it is for us, thus most of us would not leave. Again, I used to be Protestant, so I know this issue from both sides."

I believe the above statement is full of arrogance.

By saying that you believe that communion means more to a catholic than to anyone else is pure bullshit. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I agree that churches can govern themselves anyway they want to and if a person doesn't agree with it they are free to move on to another.

But you sir are a little out of line on this. Your attempt to defend your church is admirable, but you need to think about your position some.

Some here have pointed out that it appears that only pro choice Dems (not PC Repubs)are being singled out and all you say is prove it. Some have pointed out other less controversial stands of your church like the death penalty and such and all you say is that its not the same.

You have not addressed those concerns faithfully....

You might want to take a deep look at your motives concerning this and reevaluate some of your comments.

Remember most here believe that the government should stay the hell out the bedroom and issues surrounding it. The same belief is felt that churches should do the same.

Also any appearance that politics is in play by these Bishops is not going ti sit well here.

Question: Why, with probably the most important presidential election of our life, are these bishops coming out now with these decree's? Its not like these prochoice politicians weren't prochoice 3,4, 5 or 10 years ago.

WHY NOW??????????

If it walks like a duck, it ......
