Who Does Ted Lieu Think He Is?
Ted Lieu (Campaign ad image via YouTube)  Im not a Catholic, and, as a result, I have no dog in this fight, but I must admit that this jumped out at me from the pages of the New York Times:  In Fort Worth on Saturday, the Rev. Jim Gigliotti drafted a letter to Representative Ted Lieu, a Catholic Democrat from California, writing your very soul is in jeopardy and informing him that he would be refused Communion if he happened to attend Mass at Mr. Gigliottis parish. Confrontation is a ministry of caring, Father Gigliotti said. Mr. Lieu, in a series of tweets after the bishops vote, had called them hypocrites for not instructing former attorney general William P. Barr to abstain from the Eucharist because of his employment of the death penalty when he served under Mr. Trump. Mr. Lieu dared the bishops to deny him Communion, pointing out that he supports contraception, the right to same-sex marriage and a womans right to choose, which are all violations of Catholic teaching. The Catholic Church has rules. Ted Lieu is in violation of those rules. Im baffled. If I walked into a Catholic Church and said, I dont believe in God, or in the divinity of Jesus, and I dont obey any of your rules, I dare you to deny me Communion, Id be laughed out of the building.
