Father Robert E. Morey of Saint Anthony Catholic Church confirmed Monday afternoon that he had denied the presidential candidate Holy Communion because of his stance on abortion. Biden, a lifelong Catholic, had attended the church’s 9 a.m. Mass.

Benjamin Perry is a Presbyterian minister.

The anti-Christians have come out of the woodwork. Inevitably, they bring up sex scandals.

Biden’s lone response has been that he’s a practicing Catholic.  Coulda fooled me. The would-be president is a staunch supporter of abortion.

The denial took place at a church in the Diocese of Charleston, South Carolina. The Catholic News Agency reports on a 2004 decree signed jointly by the bishops of Atlanta, Charleston, and Charlotte that states:

“We declare that Catholics serving in public life espousing positions contrary to the teaching of the Church on the sanctity and inviolability of human life, especially those running for or elected to public office, are not to be admitted to Holy Communion in any Catholic church within our jurisdictions: the Archdiocese of Atlanta, the Dioceses of Charleston and Charlotte.”

Interestingly a political scientist interviewed by the Washington Times theorizes that Biden might have been totally aware this would happen and used the incident as a publicity stunt.

So Biden was denied communion. How awful. This same guy stands behind abortion that denies preborn babies the chance at life.

Before the vote was taken…

But they never should have gotten there in the first place says this Brewers fan.

On Wednesday morning Steve Scaffidi and Eric Bilstad of WTMJ Radio were discussing Halloween’s imminent snowfall and the issues it would create for trick or treaters.

“You can’t run across the yard to the front door of each house now,” Bilstad slightly lamented.

I guess not. Regardless, even if yards were snow-free kids still shouldn’t use them as a short-cut.

Bilstad’s comment made me immediately think of our neighborhood.  One of the homeowners cares for his yard, front, back, and side, meticulously. All summer long one  his son’s many friends have driven and parked, not in the driveway, but on the street. Every single time they marched up the lawn to the front door, ignoring the paved drive and walkways. Laziness? Carelessness? I think so.

Not the end of the world, I admit. However when I was young I was instructed never to do that, that is was disrespectful. My father who worked for the Post Office hated, absolutely hated when his colleagues walked from one house to another using the yards to do so.

So yes, I’m a fogey. A “stay off my lawn” fogey. And I’m cool with that.

The answer is…

This film wouldn’t come to mind, I grant you.

But over on my wife’s blog, I think she’s right.

Terrific acting and story line. Very mysterious. Classic.

Take a look.
