Courageous Bishop Raymond Burke tells pro-abortion politicians they will be denied Holy Communion...

"For that one reason among many, the United States will suffer unless there is placed into your government a group that fears the Lord if they cannot love the Lord. They will fear Him and find measures to stop the slaughter of the unborn." - Our Lady, April 14, 1984

 

The Badger Herald reported on January 19, 2004:


Catholic Church officials and pro-life activists are defending La Crosse Bishop Raymond Burke's order to withhold the sacraments from Catholic lawmakers who support abortion or euthanasia, claiming it is a necessary motion for upholding Catholic law.

     In a pastoral letter made public Jan. 8, Burke ordered priests in the 19-county La Crosse diocese to bar any politicians who advocate pro-choice policies from receiving Holy Communion. He also condemned contraceptive use, claiming it works as "the port of entry for the culture of death."

     "So often Catholics fail to act against abortion and euthanasia with the appropriate energy because they have compromised the church's teaching on the procreative end of marriage by accepting artificial birth control," Burke said.

Prior to publishing his decree, the bishop sent State Sen. Julie Lassa, D-Stevens Point, and U.S. Rep. David Obey, D-Wausau, private letters warning them that their political views pose a serious threat to the safety of their souls. According to Burke, church doctrine clearly mandates that Catholics support pro-life policies.

     Some church leaders in the La Crosse diocese claim that Burke is acting as a spiritual leader to those members of his "flock" who are violating church doctrine by supporting pro-choice politics.

     "He has a responsibility to the spiritual life of these legislators," Dr. Arthur Hippler, director of the Office of Justice and Peace for the La Crosse Diocese, said. "Their souls are at stake. It is done out of love."

 

*******************

Bishop Burke signed a pastoral letter on November 23, 2003, which stated:

 

"Catholic legislators who are members of the faithful of the Diocese of La Crosse and who continue to support procured abortion or euthanasia may not present themselves to receive holy Communion," the notification said. "They are not to be admitted to Holy Communion, should they present themselves, until such time as they publicly renounce their support of these most unjust practices."

 

Editor's Comment:

It is greatly inspiring to the Catholic Faithful to see a Bishop who has the guts and courage to stand up for the Catholic Faith.  God bless Bishop Raymond Burke!  Pray that the Church may be blessed with more Catholic leaders like him.

SIN CONDONED UNTO THE HIGHEST COURT OF YOUR LAND
"Are you so blind that you do not recognize the acceleration of sin among you? Murders abound, thievery, all manner of carnage, destruction of young souls, abortion, homosexuality, condemned from the beginning of time by the Eternal Father. Yet sin has become a way of life. Sin is condoned now, even unto the highest judge of your land and your lands throughout the world. As you have sown so shall you reap. Sin is death, not only of the spirit, but of the body. Wars are a punishment for man's sin, his greed, his avarice." - Our Lady, August 14, 1981

 

THE DAYS ARE NUMBERED
"The days are numbered for your country. Murders will abound. You will see insanity among mankind, for sin is insanity. Brother against brother, children against parents, slander and scandal, murders, abortion. What manner of sin can I not count and list for you that does not stand in lieu of judgment?" - Jesus, May 30, 1981

 

OATH
"Your once loyal to the oath of a doctor, your once loyal doctors are now butchers! For money they kill the young!" - Our Lady, February 10, 1978

 

DESTROYED
"All who become part of or condone abortion, the murder of the young, shall be destroyed! " - Jesus, June 2, 1979
