CNA: Saturday’s conference also resulted in a joint declaration from 52 pro-life leaders from 16 countries.
Each leader signed a document asking the bishops of the Catholic Church to withhold Holy Communion from pro-abortion rights politicians “as an act of love and mercy towards those same politicians.”
The document cited Scripture, canon law, and a 2004 letter to U.S. bishops from the then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. The document said that Catholic politicians who support abortion are in “grave sin.” Full report is here.
