God be praised! Our Holy Father is only reminding these culture of death politicians of the Church's constant teaching, a teaching expressed forcefully in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "The Eucharist is properly the sacrament of those who are in full communion with the Church" (1395).
Long live our beloved Pontiff Benedict XVI, a gift from Christ Jesus to His Church!
