grave sin under catholic law. but as, quote, there is no sin that god s mercy cannot reach and wipe away when it finds a repentant heart. the pope concludes every priest may provide support and comfort to facilitate reconciliation. this is a big deal for catholics. because, there is a culture within that faith of ostracizing people who do certain things. you used to not be able to receive communion when you got divorced. that s still on the books. so this pope has been trying to inch, the individual pastor to make the rules for their own congregation. right. towards forgiveness. minnesota congressman keith ellison, an early favorite to become the next leader of the dnc, so why does he think he s the best choice? we re going to speak live with congressman ellison next.
