Who was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court when Roe V. Wade became the law of the land? Ever heard of a fellow name Warren Burger? How about Harry Blackmun? A couple of Nixon appointees.

Who controlled the White House when "Plan B" was approved by the FDA? You know what "Plan B" is called by it's opponents, don't you? Mr. Bush gave it the green light.

I could go on and on and on. The point is the Republican Party is up to it's eyeballs in the same issues that the religious right wishes smear all over the Democrats. Democrats just tend to be more intellectually honest about the topic.

Perhaps the priest in question should spend a bit of time in the scripture. It's a matter of self-examination as to whether to engage in the Lord's Supper. Oh, I forgot, some denominations fear losing control of their flocks if the allow them to study and follow God's word instead of something they make up as they go.

1 Corinthians 11:2731 NIV

"27Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. 32When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world."
