Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly calls on local Catholic politicians to examine abortion positions before worshiping

Bishop Daly, you could fix this. 

No one who is a true Roman Catholic can support abortion. 

Politicians who support abortion should be excommunicated. Let them go join a church hell-bent to support baby murder. 

But your words and letter means nothing. 

Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly’s call for local Catholic politicians who support legislation enabling abortions to get right with the church drew a skeptical response Monday from two Spokane City Council members. 

Daly signed a letter Friday calling on local politicians “who obstinately persevere in their public support for abortion” to abstain from the sacrament of Communion until they’ve “reconciled to Christ and the Church.” 

Daly cites legislation approved in New York state and proposed in Virginia in his letter and invokes language from Catholic canonical law indicating that actions promoting such laws are grave offenses to the church that would require public atonement.
