I don't see him ever actually advocating that.
The OP is a letter that Latin America Church leaders all signed, not something the Cardinal ever came out and said. Considering the man is now Pope, and considering his past history with humbling himself for sinners, I don't see him ever advocating for churchs to deny communion to anyone.
You don't see him doing that?
Excuse me while I snicker shamelessly at your ignorance of the Catholic Church.
Thanks for the laugh!

The pleasure was all mine, I'm sure. You're possibly the first person I've come across that does not see signing a letter as some kind of agreement with the contents of said letter.
It is not only the right - but the duty of the Church hierarchy to ensure that Catholics understand what being a Catholic means.
Waxman? LOL The pope is not going to give Waxman communion? LOL Waxman is Jewish!!!
Sorry asswipe. I keep getting him and Barney Frank mixed up.
Thanks for the laugh!

Can you point out the last time a Pope called for denying sacraments to anyone? Denying the body and blood of Christ to sinners is not something the Pope will ever call for.

Are you really this stupid?
Denying someone communion is a serious private issue, between the person, God, and their confessor.

The far left may be disappointed when they discover that the cardinals elected another pope pro-life social conservative as pope. Francis has previously condemned offering communion to those politicians who facilitate in abortion.
Breitbart.com reported:
New Pope Francis I is a conservative in the mold of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II. Thats especially true on the issue of abortion, which he called a death sentence for the unborn in 2007. We arent in agreement with the death penalty, he said during that speech, but in Argentina we have the death penalty. A child conceived by the rape of a mentally ill or retarded woman can be condemned to death.
In the Aparecida Document, a document that represents a joint statement by Latin American church leaders but presented by Francis in 2007, the leaders stated, we should commit ourselves to eucharistic coherence, that is, we should be conscious that people cannot receive holy communion and at the same time act or speak against the commandments, in particular when abortions, euthanasia, and other serious crimes against life and family are facilitated. This responsibility applies particularly to legislators, governors, and health professionals.

Maybe ex-communication is in store for Marxists like Pelosi and Biden. Oops, I meant Democrats. Hehehe
Like I said earlier, no Catholic politician in America would ever recieve communion again under the OP.

If Catholics believe the Eucharist really is the body and blood of Christ, then they believe they are eating human flesh and drinking human blood. The Romans accused Christians of cannibalism and that the charge has been made against Catholics in various ways ever since.

You seem to be gleefully anticipating the Pope cracking down on what you consider bad Catholics. Why is that?
No, the Pope is not going to come out in favor of denying politicians who advocate for abortion( and the death penalty which is also considered murder by the church) communion.
Denying the body and blood of Christ to sinners is not something the Pope will ever call for.
I know what the church doctrine is. Clearly you don't.
The Pope will never come out and call for Priests to deny sacraments to those who advocate policy that is against church teachings. The denial of communion occurs only when someone willfully lives in grievous sin and only after they have had lengthy counseling from their Priest.

We're all sinners.
Practicing Catholics - sinners - are indeed eligible for Communion, if their sins are forgiven/no mortal sins on their soul prior-to receiving the Sacrament.
Cheerleading for same sex marriage, abortions... those Catholics need to get to confession before receiving the Sacrament.
The left was convinced that Pope Francis was going to support same sex marriage. This is going to be wildly amusing.
Read the bible and you will find that god hates those things. Does the left seriously think that the pope will agree with them.
Will he also excommunicate those who eat lobster or wear mixed fabrics? Will he demand that good Catholics stone their children for being disobedient? These are also Biblical teachings.
Pope John Paul II went so far as to personally give communion to a pro-choice politician in 2001, at the height of the American debate about it.
Your argument seems to be "nauh!" You can just say, it feels right to you and you wish they would.
Clearly you don't understand that this has been discussed before, and the church has already decided that communion should not be denied to politicians based on their political stance. Pope John Paul II went so far as to personally give communion to a pro-choice politician in 2001, at the height of the American debate about it.

Perhaps the politician went to Confession and was in the state of grace to receive.
You're not asked by the Priest when receiving...
He doesn't say, "Body of Christ, Have You Been to Confession"
