A Colorado Bishop, in one of strongest stands yet taken by a U.S. Roman Catholic church leader, says communion should be denied to people who vote for candidates supporting such issues as abortion rights, gay marriage, euthanasia and stem cell research

In a pastoral letter to the 125,000 parishioners in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Bishop Michael Sheridan also warned that politicians opposed to church teachings on such issues and those who vote for them jeopardize their salvation.


"Any Catholic politicians who advocate for abortion, for illicit stem cell research or for any form of euthanasia ipso facto place themselves outside full communion with the church and so jeopardize their salvation," the bishop wrote in a letter published this week in the diocesan monthly newspaper, the Herald.


"Any Catholics who vote for candidates who stand for abortion, illicit stem cell research or euthanasia suffer the same fateful consequences," he added.


While some Catholic church leaders have suggested denying communion to Catholic politicians who support abortion rights, none except Sheridan are believed to have suggested that communion also be denied to the voters who support them.....

I love Relgion. Who needs Comedy Central when we have the Catholic Church and CNN?

Wow. That's just... Wow. Do they not realize the vast majority of people would find that uncivilized and rude? Not a good PR move for the old church, if you ask me.

Can't be worse then appointing Wacko Jacko as a Bishop at each Church... and then offering discount baseball teams.

Thats disgusting. DISGUSTING.

Those idiot conservative catholics should go think a little bit about what their freaking religion is SUPPOSED to say. They cant get past, "Adam knew eve."

Makes milkshake MAD.

I'm in favor of it personally.

I'm tired of hypocrites who support positive liberal change but still support a brutally conservative church.

I do agree that they should leave the conservacatholic chuch if they're liberal.

But i would prefer that the consevocatholic chuch become MUCH less conservative.

Solution: If more then ten people agree on anything, kill the ten people, and supress the anything.

Milkshake you also belong to a conservative church. This phenomenon is known as "organized Christianity" and is as a whole entirely conservative no matter what you think.

I didn't know your dad is a pastor. Cool. I don't know much about Christianity but I'm aware there's a lot of sub-churches like Catholics and Protestants and all of them, you wouldn't happen to know which one your dad is, would you?
