Perhaps another silver lining

Obamas Election is finally forcing the Catholic church in the U.S. to address the giving of Communion to those that support abortion, either in elected office or in the ballot box.



In what may be a little to little to late, but better late than never the Bishops are beginning to do something they have not done so in a while, 

Teach Catholic doctrine forcefully and clearly, with consequences to Catholics that fail to live up to Catholic doctrine.


It is a shame it took a political disaster to get this reaction, but then Christianity is often more clearly taught in the face of persecution.
