Judas Priest!
There’s probably no way beyond speculation to know whether Judas endorsed abortion. But it is clear that he embraced treason, and that Jesus knew it.
It also seems altogether likely that in spite of himself he was not excommunicated from that Holy Table up there in that room on that fateful night.
Maybe there’s a pattern here that might be attended by those certain modern-day prelates who, when it comes to our Lord’s Table, seem to confuse apostolic succession with apostolic possession.
