The Catholic Diocese of Culiacán told politicians who voted to legalize abortions in Sinaloa, Mexico this month that they may not receive communion.
“Can a deputy or any person who professes to be a Catholic, while openly cooperating or legislating against life, receive Holy Communion? No. You cannot approach Sacramental Communion,” diocese official Father Miguel Ángel Soto Gaxiola told lawmakers, according to the Catholic News Agency.
Last week, Sinaloa became the seventh state in Mexico to legalize the killing of unborn babies in abortions up to 13 weeks. Most states still protect unborn babies from abortion, but a ruling by the national Supreme Court last year decriminalizing abortion has emboldened abortion activists to push for pro-abortion laws across the country.
Soto Gaxiola said Catholic lawmakers who voted to legalize abortion may not receive communion or become godparents in the diocese, according to CNA. By voting to allow the killing of unborn babies, these lawmakers placed themselves in an “unworthy state … to receive the Body of Christ,” he said.

Praise our Lord Jesus Christ!
It’s about time someone stands up for the innocent and means it. Here in the US, not so much.
EXCELLENT. God should be denying them health!
I believe they should be made to clean the body of the infant and be required to buy a casket and than dig the grave and be made to say a prayer for the baby but not a prayer for themselves because they will be burned in Hell.
It is wonderful to read of a Catholic Church, that actually stands up for and enforces to dogma and teaching of the Church.
Now, all we need is for U.S. Bishops to drop their “Church of Nice” apostasy, and their tolerance of homosexual deviancy.
They shouldn’t. It’s a sin in our faith, against our basic tenets.
Good!! A real Catholic church.
Well at least the Catholic church in Mexico has some common sense and guts. They could come up here and teach the American Catholic church a few things.
The US Catholic priests could learn from Mexico.
PS – Who needs Supreme Courts anymore?
Wish the church would do this in the United States! DEMOCRATS that say they are Catholic love to abortions! Just ask Nancy Polise & her buddy Joe Biden! Wished both of these two parents felt the way they do! The United States of America would be so much better off!
Bravo, Fr. Gaxiola! That’s taking a stand!
The Catholic Church in Mexico, should come up here and straighten out Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi. They are both catholic and support abortion. Since they are both Democrats, that makes them above the laws of the catholic church and are disgrace in the eyes of God.
