It's good to see someone toe the line- in a good way. This is why Pope Benedict's pronouncements are always good to my ears (or eyes).
Catholics who don't support abortion, gay "marriage" or random divorce and are in a state of grace are free to accept Communion. As the previous Pope, John Paul the Great, and a handful of priests and bishops with guts have said, one must be in a state of grace in order to recieve one of the seven sacraments of the Church. It's in the Catechism. It's a part of the philosophy. Suck it up.
If one does not like it, then they are welcome to use the free will God gave them and leave for a church or religion that is more accomodating to their willy-nilly wishes.
Just saying is all.

Damn right. Once again, nail hit right on the head.
These people over look this freedom in the free countries they love so much, as they try and force the clergy to do what ever they want. I agree and say, if its that big of a burden for you to bare, go elsewhere.

It's exactly in line with what you're saying.
I have a big issue with people staying in a religion that they clearly despise.
Okay, for some reason that link didn't post right. I'll try again:

That is weird. I have never seen a link post like that. But if you click on "Truth" (to the left) so that the post appears in its own window, you will see the whole link.
