Frank Pastore over at Townhall.com challenges his fellow Protestants to step up to the plate and follow Pope Benedict's lead.
According to the Pope, Catholic politicians who vote in favor of abortion should not receive communion and they risk excommunication from the Church. According to Church law, anyone who knowingly commits or allows a grave sin, such as abortion, inflicts “automatic excommunication” upon themselves.
I’d love to hear some Protestant Benedicts speak with such clarity.
But, where are the pulpits of men with conviction and principle eager to take politically incorrect stands?
Where are those men with chests who fear God more than men?
Where are those pastors who care more about their faithfulness to the Biblical text than they do about filling their pews and the next building program?
Where are the Bible colleges and seminaries who teach such things?
What are the denominations that still care about such things?
Who are the radio and television ministries who regularly address such things?
They are so rare.
Which is why I am so proud of Pope Benedict and the Catholic Church, even though I’m not Catholic.
