You probably haven't gone to confession and I would say unless there's something really out of the ordinary, please don't hesitate to come to join us around the table of the Lord. Just make sure you make an act of contrition and go to confession within 1,2,3 weeks...whenever you can"<BR/><BR/>Hmm...I was somewhat perplexed. The words "mortal sin" never made an appearance. There also did not seem to be "grave reason." What are your thoughts?Sonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18416808828595364784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-13161204205346917952008-04-23T12:28:00.000-05:002008-04-23T12:28:00.000-05:00Sadly, I read the news about Senator Kennedy.

They may have fooled B16 while he was here, but the Almighty above knows who did what.Black Birettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758160681203816829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-11072292643293951002008-04-23T07:22:00.000-05:002008-04-23T07:22:00.000-05:00Well, for a second I had a newfound respect for Se...Well, for a second I had a newfound respect for Senator Kennedy and then I read this:<BR/>http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/apr/08041817.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-76393889020783806702008-04-22T14:18:00.000-05:002008-04-22T14:18:00.000-05:00Yes, give him his due.

Although we repudiate Kennedy's abortion stand, I can still respect his respect for our church laws and thus voluntarily refusing Communion to himself. He has more integrity for that one act than his associates who openly show contempt by presenting themselves for Communion.Black Birettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758160681203816829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36562133.post-78116041323232900712008-04-21T00:37:00.000-05:002008-04-21T00:37:00.000-05:00Not only do I agree with the comments made, I want...Not only do I agree with the comments made, I want to add that I reluctantly had to give a bit of respect to one of those "Catholics" that foster non-catholic views. There clearly on EWTN at National Stadium was Senator Kennedy sitting alone in a row of empty seats. The entire row was off in the communion line and he did as he ought and did not present himself for communion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
