In an interview, Rodriguez Maradiaga said an issue recently in the news in the U.S. - bishops in favor of denying Holy Communion to Catholic politicians who support abortion rights - is not relevant in Honduras "because those people never come to church."The greater public scandal would be to allow a so-called "Catholic" who supports and facilitates the murder of innocent children to receive Holy Communion...I'm afraid the good cardinal is a bit confused on this point.
But, he said, "personally, I could never deny Holy Communion to a person. It would be a public scandal. Those who know they shouldn't be accepting the Eucharist have their own consciences. In my capacity as a pastor, I would never decide that for someone else."
