McCarrick: Catholic pols backing abortion may face sanctions

Asked what sanctions the task force might recommend for politicians who stray from Catholic teachings, McCarrick said Catholic universities could deny honorary degrees, dioceses may withhold honors and Catholic institutions may not invite them to speak.

There will be a revolt if these kind of sanctions are imposed on our wonderful "Catholic" pols who do all they can to promote and encourage the murder of the innocent and deprive God of what is rightfully His and His alone.

McCarrick said the task force has sounded out all U.S. bishops, is questioning bishops' conferences in other countries and is getting "guidance" from the Vatican.

Uhhhh, OK, sure, if you say so. Why do I have difficulty believing him?

"They (the Vatican) are saying, 'Look at the documents, the documents are very clear.' The documents tell us what a Catholic in public life should be," McCarrick said during the interview at the North American College, the American seminary in Rome.

"The Church has been very clear on these issues. The Church has said what one should expect from anyone in politics, especially one who is Catholic."

McCarrick is in Rome for a periodic visit all bishops make every five years.

Yep, the Church is clear, but it seems some bishops here have a problem with 'clear'. BTW, is McCarrick really in Rome seeking a spine transplant or is that just some ugly rumor?
