In a letter to America's Catholic bishops, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, prefect of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was clear: no communion for consistently pro-abortion politicians, i.e., John F. Kerry.
Reflecting that, the Times reports Archbishop Chaput told them that voting for a candidate who supports abortion rights or embryonic stem cell research would be a sin requiring confession.
"If you vote this way, are you cooperating in evil?" he asked. "And if you know you are cooperating in evil, should you go to confession? The answer is yes."
