Burke's Canonical Bunker Buster for Pro-Abort Politicians

And in this case "Bunker" means "those who think that Canon Law doesn't prohibit pro-choice Catholic politicians from receiving the Eucharist" and "Buster" means "Archbishop Burke's recent article published in the world's leading journal for Canon (Church) Law."

The title of Burke's article: "CANON 915: THE DISCIPLINE REGARDING THE DENIAL OF HOLY COMMUNION TO THOSE OBSTINATELY PERSEVERING IN MANIFEST GRAVE SIN." It is available online in its entirety here.

I would highly recommend reading my father's introduction to this article at his blog In the Light of the Law (published today) which fills-in the context surrounding the debate and attempts to prepare the reader for what is, admittedly, technical and demanding language (I'm sure that won't constitute a disincentive to my readers).

He considers it the most important article on canon law published this year.

A friend of mine alerted me earlier this year to Burke's intentions of publishing this article, but he could not specify which journal had accepted it and my efforts to find out proved fruitless. Regardless, it has now reached the light of day and by nightfall I'm fairly certain we can expect some fireworks.
