From American Life League Oct. 22 Communique: The Milwaukee Archdiocesan Priests Alliance has written to Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, asking that bishops refrain from telling priests to withhold Holy Communion from known pro-abortion public figures, adding, “We do not think it is wise to ask us to make on the spot judgments about the worthiness of any recipient.” The Milwaukee Catholic Herald reported on the letter without comment. American Life League is asking why Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan has been silent on the issue.

A few bishops oppose Kerry, but many more privately support him and have whispered against the handful of brave bishops who threatened to withhold communion from him. https://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=7273 Traditional Values Coalition Provides Detailed Scorecards on U.S. election candidates https://www.traditionalvalues.org/voterguide_2004/index.php Mother Plead’s for Her Baby’s Life ‘Give my baby a fighting chance to live’ https://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/10/22/njones22.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/10/22/ixhome.html
