Jesus died for my salvation.  And Rudy’s.  And everyone who will accept him.  I’m not excusing Rudy’s position.  I guess the cardinal is thinking two Biblical doctrine wrongs will make a right here.

NY cardinal criticizes Giuliani for taking Communion

4/28/2008, 11:34 a.m. CDT The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Cardinal Edward Egan says Rudy Giuliani should not have received Holy Communion during the pope’s visit because he supports abortion rights.

Egan says he had “an understanding” with the former presidential candidate and New York mayor that he is not to receive the Eucharist. The Catholic church opposes abortion.

The cardinal said Monday that Giuliani broke that understanding when he received the Eucharist during Pope Benedict XVI’s visit.

Egan says he will be seeking a meeting with Giuliani “to insist that he abide by our understanding.”

Giuliani’s spokesman says she is preparing a response.

I’ve got a response they could use.  Not very nice one, but it’d be a typical New Yorker response that I’m sure Rudy’s thinking.
