Material Cooperation with Intrinsic Evil

So, I get on the internet, and the first thing I see on MSN is the title on an article: "Priest: No communion for Obama supporters. "

I am really not sure where to begin.... Probably the only good thing about this article is the phrase: "material cooperation with intrinsic evil". If nothing else, the guy deserves kudos for that!

Seriously though, this is absolutely amazing. To think that someone can actually say that someone else can not take communion? Seriously? This guy just doesn't get it. No one has the right to stop somone else from taking communion. No one. It just lends credance to a lot of people's complete misunderstanding of scripture, this guy included.

Communion is about remembering what Jesus did for everyone, including people that support abortion rights. The act of communion should be done as a meal, the most biblical way of taking communion. One should focus on Jesus, and Him being the final Sacrificial Lamb for the entire world. We should be teaching our children (while taking communion, not waiting for them to be dismissed to children's worship, ugh..) why we are doing this. We should go all the way back to the Exodus, where this amazing spiritual ceremony originated. We should be walking around the worship hall, asking for forgiveness to those friends who we have upset, and have not talked it over with. We should be thanking God for the life we have, because of what He did.

Communion is not a political issue. I ask you, study it for yourself. No one, has the right to take that from anyone else.
