A
letter Pope Francis sent to the bishops of Argentina
in late March is getting note from a pro-life Catholic
group that says it is
encouraging for pro-life advocates because it says pro-abortion politicians
should not be eligible for communion in the Catholic Church.
In the letter, Pope Francis directed the Argentinean bishops
to govern the Church there following the Aparecida Document.
The text states, in part, “[people] cannot receive Holy
Communion and at the same time act with deeds or words against the commandments,
particularly when abortion, euthanasia, and other grave crimes against life and
family are encouraged. This responsibility weighs particularly over
legislators, heads of governments, and health professionals.”
“These are the guidelines we need for this time in history,”
the pope wrote to the bishops.
Judie Brown, president of American Life League, a U.S.-based
pro-life group, and Michael Hichborn, director of Defend the Faith for American
Life League, sent a letter to all U.S. Catholic bishops alerting them to what
Pope Francis wrote.
