I’m watching Nightline tonight and there’s a story on John Kerry, Catholicism, Abortion, and Communion. For those who haven’t been following, see my previous post. A Colorado Bishop is being interviewed by Nightline because he’s going to stop administering the sacrament of Holy Communion to parishoners who disagree with him politically. Ok, fine, be that way. But when asked whether he would do the same for parishoners who believe in the death penalty, Bishop Sheridan argues, with a straight face, that the Church doesn’t explicitly forbid the death penalty. There he is, in his office, sitting under a Crucifix, which, for those of you who haven’t been tuned in to human history in the past 2,000 years, is the most potent and well-recognized example of the death penalty being misapplied, arguing that a church founded by a man who was wrongly executed isn’t opposed to the death penalty.
What happened to forgiveness, Bishop Sheridan?
