Bishop Galante will deny Holy Communion to N.J. governor

Another US Bishop has decided to put a stop to the scandal of pro-death politicians receiving Holy Communion.

Bishop Joseph Galante, incoming leader of the Camden Catholic diocese, said yesterday that he would deny communion to Gov. McGreevey if he sought it at Galante's installation Mass today.

"If he comes to communion, I'd give him a blessing," Galante told a news conference in Camden. "In his case, he can't go to communion."

Galante said he was taking the stance primarily because the divorced governor, who is Catholic, remarried without receiving a church annulment. Also, he said, McGreevey's record of "pushing" for legalized abortion, stem-cell research, and other positions the church views as immoral "is almost like he throws the gauntlet down."

Thanks be to God. At least it's a start...Now if only the U.S. bishops would act in unison.
