American bishops are adopting a phrase used by the Latin American bishops at Aparecida, Eucharistic Coherence, in order to address the matter of Catholic politicians who promote abortion and other grave evils.
This is the pertinent quote: “We hope that legislators, heads of government, and health professionals, conscious of the dignity of human life and of the rootedness of the family in our peoples, will defend and protect it from the abominable crimes of abortion and euthanasia; that is their responsibility. Hence, in response to government laws and provisions that are unjust in the light of faith and reason, conscientious objection should be encouraged. We must adhere to ‘Eucharistic coherence,’that is, be conscious that they cannot receive holy communion and at the same time act with deeds or words against the commandments, particularly when abortion, euthanasia, and other grave crimes against life and family are encouraged. This responsibility weighs particularly over legislators, heads of governments, and health professionals.”

Absolutely right. The code of canon law need to be strictly enforced and not glossed over and ignored for the purposes of saving face for certain individuals. Thank you Father Richard you are always so right.
