So to sum up, when it comes to politicians and the abortion issue, you might say that this weekend will be the dividing point.
This weekend the parishes will be reopened. That means that confession and reconciliation will be available to all Catholics who are able to come to their parish.
So this weekend, if Nancy Pelosi or Joe Biden [or anyone else] presents themselves to receive the Eucharist, and have not decided to change their stance on abortion, then they knowingly sin against the Body and Blood of Christ. That would be a grave sin, but it could be forgiven.
But if they present themselves as changed, but then knowingly and willingly act against those convictions, that is a serious matter indeed.[ie. the dog revisiting it's own vomit].
That is where the parable of the Good Shepherd comes into play.
