text: MGB: Read the talk, it is phenomenal. Strong words for capitalist Catholics who believe the social doctrine is optional rather than a product of divine revelation (in this case, literally). Our current economy turns workers into slaves with few options to leave a bad job. If that is not slavery, there is no such thing.

  Paul continues the theme, linking eating and drinking worthily to sharing a just portion with the poor. This is the real story about sacriledge in Communion, (1 Cor 11) nothing here about avoiding it when in a state of sin. The state of sin is injustice. Being part of this systetm of inequality is sharing the injustice and the latest health care reform is the most recent insult on the body of Christ.
