Finally a Bishop Refuses Communion to a Pro-Abort Senator

by Steve Ray on February 26, 2019

Screen Shot 2019-02-26 at 10.03.28 AMThis should be the norm, not an extraordinary event. Bishops should act more like shepherds than politicians. Finally a bishop steps up and says, “NO!”

Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois says Senator Dick Durbin is “cooperating in evil” and persisting in “manifest grave sin” because of his abortion advocacy and must therefore “not be admitted to Holy Communion until he repents of his sin.”

So, What Do I Really Think about the Papacy and this Pope?

by Steve Ray on February 26, 2019

Screen Shot 2019-02-26 at 9.54.22 AMTwo radio shows on Monday were quite lively. They were both based on my new book The Papacy: What the Pope Does and Why It Matters.

The first was an interview with Fr. Robert McTeigue SJ. What a sharp and perceptive priest. He asked me very pointed questions about Pope Francis, today’s Vatican and the papacy in general. It was well worth the hour. I spoke more openly about these matters than in the past. Hope you enjoy the show.

The 2nd was on Catholic Answers Live but I will post that show later today.
