In an interview with Catholic World Report, Bishop Robert
Vasa -recently named the coadjutor bishop of Santa Rosa, California -discusses his concerns about the Catholic Campaign for Human
Development, the importance of denying Holy Communion to pro-abortion
politicians, and his decision to require all “lectors, extraordinary
ministers of Holy Communion, cantors, and catechists to attest to the
fact that they affirm and believe the basic teachings of the Church as
found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.”
He adds, “This includes declaring such things as: I believe in God, the
virgin birth, the existence of purgatory, the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. I also accept the Church’s moral
teachings, such as the evil and sinfulness of contraception, homosexual
activity, and adulterous behavior.”
