Does this website speak truthfully about the Democratic candidates being Catholic?

Question

http://www.democratic-candidates.org/comparisons/compare-democratic-presidential-candidates-religion.php/

I don't know how anybody can claim to be a Christian and also pro abortion. Just, doesn't add up so somebody is lying somewhere along the lines there. Or, are all the candidates against abortion because maybe that is the case I pay such little attention to what is going on.

Answer 1

They are lapsed Catholics and are subject to excommunication. Priests and Bishops who give them communion are also in the wrong.

The taking of innocent life is a mortal sin and the active participation in promoting the death of 40 million Americans since Roe v. Wade was passed means any Catholic who participates in abortions like Dr. Howard Dean who worked for Planned Parenthood will go to hell.

Pro abortion Catholics are not allowed to receive the Body of Christ because it is incompatible with advocating the killing of innocent babies via abortion or any other method of murder.

Answer 2

Someone can be a misguided Catholic and “pro-choice.”

This is especially harmful when they are people of influence like politicians, who because of their influence may unduly direct others toward "the culture of death" instead of the "consistent ethic of life."

Politically supporting abortion is not a offense for which one can be excommunicated although a change in this rule is being discussed.

The Church law involved is Canon 915: Those who are excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others who obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' statement "Catholics in Political Life" says:

Therefore, like every Catholic generation before us, we must be guided by the words of St. Paul, “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the Body and Blood of the Lord” (1 Cor 11:27).

And continues that it is up to each Bishop in their diocese and on a case by case basis to decide whether or not to deny Holy Communion to Catholic politicians because of their public support of abortion.

Answer 3

Yes? Although I doubt Kucinich is really a literal religious Catholic, I believe he is in practice only and more of an agnostic/atheist.
