4) Father Brian Graebe, pastor of the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral in New York, wrote a column pushing back on Father James Martin, SJ, who recently wrote against denying Communion to persistently pro-abortion Catholic politicians. “Church leaders have a responsibility to correct those who use the powers of their public offices to promote, facilitate and expand access to the unique evil of abortion,” Graebe wrote. While denying Communion is a “last resort, reserved for the most egregious violations of justice, enabling the killing of unborn children far exceeds that threshold”
