Chris Coghlan is a British Member of Parliament for Dorking and Horley. The Liberal Democratic Party. There was apparently an assisted dying bill there. I assume that all the Catholic faithful were warned not to support it, and especially not elected officials. He did it anyway. Not that euthanasia has been a mystery for any of us for a couple hundred years. The Catechism is the most publicly available document ever, perhaps. I know Coughlan has WiFi, if he doesn’t want to read it in book form.
Let’s cut the crap: these Catholic-flavored pagans the world over just want the Church to mind her own business. They like Christmas and Easter Mass. They might even enjoy talking about how Catholic they are. They can go on about all the parish events they’ve gone to, or how many years they went to Catholic school. But as soon as the powerful money people come around, these major issues become “wedge issues” and “divisive” and these folks need to “listen” to “other voices.”
This particular candy-a— is particularly upset that his priest made a public announcement in the Church that he’s a public sinner who will be denied Communion. It’s about time. The priests and bishops in the United States could learn from that priest.
I’ll be honest: I’m weak like all other people. I’m far from perfect or innocent. But the rank wickedness and hypocrisy of Catholics almost kept me from full communion with the Church.
If you want to pick and choose, go to a buffet. Religion is serious. But I would never be elected; I’m too forthright.
