[Apologetics] The Archbishop and the Governor

[Dianne Dawson]

Marty,

The Archbishop has not yet made it more than a request for her to comply; doubtless hoping she would either see the error of her ways or voluntarily comply.  With this second request he is threatening to make it an ecclesial ban.

My point is that IF the Archbishop has publicly said the governor is not to
take communion (which he did), then that should have the effect of each
priest in his diocese denying her communion until the ban is lifted.  She
could only take it if she went to another diocese.

The prohibition was on the very public taking of the Sacrament.
If a politician privately abhorred abortion, I doubt there would be
a problem requesting a private Sacrament minus television cameras
and reporters.  The problem is the public and ostentatious Mass 
attendance despite public rejection of Catholic teaching on serious matters.

Just as a matter of trademark dilution, such politicians would get
sued out the wazoo if they abused a corporate trademark that way.
They show less respect for the Catholic Church than a corporation.
