NY Cardinal Egan chastises Guiliani for taking Holy Eucharist

Could it be that Pope Benedict XVI's recent to the United States inspired a new vigor in certain American bishops to boldly teach and uphold the Faith? This recent development of Cardinal Egan calling former NY Mayor Guiliani out on sinfully taking of the Holy Eucharist nearly rivals that of Missouri Archbishop Burke and his treatment of John Kerry. However, do not hold your breath for San Francisco's bishop Niederauer to do the same with the infamous Planned Parenthood bulldog Nancy Pelosi.

Excerpts from Cardinal Egan's letter:

"The Catholic Church clearly teaches that abortion is a grave offense against the will of God," said Egan.  "Throughout my years as Archbishop of New York, I have repeated this teaching in sermons, articles, addresses, and interviews without hesitation or compromise of any kind."

He continued, "Thus it was that I had an understanding with Mr. Rudolph Giuliani, when I became Archbishop of New York and he was serving as Mayor of New York, that he was not to receive the Eucharist because of his well-known support of abortion."

"I deeply regret that Mr. Giuliani received the Eucharist during the Papal visit here in New York," said Egan, "and I will be seeking a meeting with him to insist that he abide by our understanding."

Now listen to Guiliani's arrogant shallow response:

Responding to the matter in the press, Giuliani said that his faith "is a deeply personal matter and should remain confidential."
