<H3 hasbox="2">Top Vatican official confirms: no Communion for abortion proponents<BR><SPAN style="COLOR: #999999" hasbox="2">July 24, 2009</SPAN> </H3>
<P hasbox="2">Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera, the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, has reiterated that politicians who support legal abortion should be barred from receiving Communion. Because these individuals are engaged in gravely sinful behavior, the Spanish prelate told LifeSite News, it would be an act of charity for a priest to withhold Communion, preventing them from blasphemous reception of the Eucharist.
