A Roman Catholic priest has told parishioners they should confess if they voted for Barack Obama because the president-elect supports abortion.Not a venial sin, but a mortal sin? And choice is not abortion. It's a person's right to privacy that covers 1000s of situations, not just abortion.
The Rev. Joseph Illo says his parishioners at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Modesto shouldn't risk losing their "state of grace" by receiving communion sacrilegiously. He delivered the message in a Nov. 21 letter and during mass.
In an interview this week with the Modesto Bee, Illo says he sent the letter because Catholic teaching requires that people go to confession when they commit a mortal sin.
How about you stick to your job of hoodwinking the faithful and leave politics out of your sermons.
