Note from Kansas: Petition to withhold Communion

A colleague emailed me the following from info@Pewsitter.com, which I pass on to you:

I recently completed a petition to Withhold Communion from prominent Catholics in public life thatdissent from the Church's teaching on a variety of serious moral issues including abortion, euthanasia, human cloning, homosexual marriage, and embryonic stem cell research to name a few.

I encourage you to do the same.

Canon 212 S3 of the Catholic Church states that the Catholic faithful have '..the right, indeed at times the duty, in keeping with their knowledge, competence and position, to manifest to the sacred Pastors their views on matters which concern the good of the Church.' In response to this 'duty' please go to the following link and complete a petition.

The goal of the petition drive is to generate a million petitions to give to present to our bishops asking them to take action. Also, please pray for the success of this petition drive.

God Bless You,

p.s. If you previously received this letter from me [by email] and have already completed the petition - - thank you -- and please forgive the duplication.
