The church v. intrinsic evil

Higher Authority

I had this queued up last week, but it melted. “ COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for Barack Obama because the Democratic president-elect supports abortion, and supporting him "constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil." The Rev. Jay Scott Newman said in a letter distributed Sunday to parishioners at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Greenville that they are putting their souls at risk if they take Holy Communion before doing penance for their vote. "Our nation has chosen for its chief executive the most radical pro-abortion politician ever to serve in the United States Senate or to run for president," Newman wrote, referring to Obama by his full name, including his middle name of Hussein. "Voting for a pro-abortion politician when a plausible pro-life alternative exits constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil, and those Catholics who do so place themselves outside of the full communion of Christ's Church and under the judgment of divine law. Persons in this condition should not receive Holy Communion until and unless they are reconciled to God in the Sacrament of Penance, lest they eat and drink their own condemnation." [cont] ” Of course Father Newman is correct, but what of non-Catholics who can't avail themselves of the Sacrament of Penance?  To answer that, I donned my own clerical robes and asked myself. What about that Bishop Schlong? “ It's an eternity in Hell for the fekkers. ” My cardinal in Rome tells me, confidentially, that the Holy Father took issue with  his South Carolina priest, stating, "What about the First Commandment?  What about : 'You shall have no other gods before Me?'  That should have been first on his list.
