• "Father James Martin contradicts basic Catholic moral principles and theology in his case against denying communion to those who persist in manifest, grave sin....'Anyone aware of having sinned mortally must not receive communion without having received absolution in the sacrament of penance,' the catechism teaches. To receive absolution, the penitent must have sincere contrition, which includes 'the resolution not to sin again.' This applies to all mortal sins....with a public figure who publicly and obstinately persists in promoting grave evil, the matter is laid bare for all to see, adding scandal and confusion of the faithful to the weight of the sin" (Bishop Paprocki, Wall St Journal, 7/27/22)
