I don't recall ever hearing Cardinal Mahony barring a pro-abort Catholic politician (Pelosi, Biden, Kennedy, Sebelius, etc) from receiving Communion, but this is the 2nd time that he's banned a Bishop from his Diocese. Granted, Williamson's comments were inappropriate and wrong, but I'd love to hear the Cardinal tell these CINO's that they can't receive Communion while supporting abortion.Archbishop of Los Angeles Cardinal Mahony has banned Society of St. Pius X Bishop Richard Williamson from entering any Catholic church, school or facility of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles until he retracts his remarks minimizing Jewish suffering in the Holocaust.
The announcement came in a statement published online in the March 6 edition of The Tidings, the diocesan newspaper. The cardinal authored the statement jointly with Rabbi Gary Greenebaum, the U.S. Director of Interreligious Affairs of the American Jewish Committee, and Seth Brysk, Los Angeles Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee.
Bishop Williamson was one of four bishops leading the breakaway Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) whose excommunications were lifted by Pope Benedict XVI in January.
