Kathleen Sebelius, former Kansas governor and current Secretary of HHS has always been a flagrantly pro-abortion Catholic who has used her positions to promote baby-killing. As Kansas governor, she repeatedly used her authority to shield one of the most notorious abortionists, the late George Tiller, from the law that she was sworn to uphold.
Her bishop, Archbishop Joseph Naumann, attempted to help her understand that her support of abortion was gravely sinful. After she flouted his private plea to refrain from Holy Communion, he publicly forbade her from Communion until she repents of her serious sin. In a press interview, she complains that this is painful to her, not recognizing that this is a discipline necessary not only to prevent dishonor to the Blessed Sacrament, but to prevent her from committing yet another mortal sin, that of sacrilegious Communion.
Let us join Archbishop Naumann in praying not only for Sebelius's conversion, but that of all Catholics who support abortion. While we do not doubt Sebelius's pain, we also know that if she dies in a state of mortal sin, she will endure the eternal, horrible pains of hell.
Let us also pray that more bishops will have the courage and clarity of Archbishop Naumann. We can make that an intention as we gather at St Matthew's Cathedral (see post below).
