Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot , 59, picked up Communion at the funeral Eucharist for policewoman Ella French (+29) who died after exchanging gunfire following a traffic stop.
Lightfoot, a black Democrat who pushes for defunding the police, is a Non-Catholic and self-declared Lesbian. Chicago saw 769 homicides in 2020 alone.
The service was presided by Cardinal Blase Cupich. French's mother, Lightfoot and others delivered emotional speeches. Cupich left it to co-presiding priests to hand out [sacrilegious] Communion.
Lightfoot is a Founding Trustee at Christ the King Jesuit High School in Chicago, and a member of St. James African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.
Dogmatic Council of Trent
Whoever publicly asserts that one may receive communion in mortal sin is excommunicated
If anyone says that faith alone is sufficient preparation for receiving the sacrament of the most Holy Eucharist: let him be anathema. And that so great a Sacrament may not be unworthily received, and therefore unto death and condemnation, this holy Council ordains and declares that sacramental confession must necessarily be made beforehand by those whose conscience is burdened by mortal sin, however contrite they may consider themselves. If anyone moreover teaches the contrary or preaches or obstinately asserts, or even publicly by disputation shall presume to defend the contrary, by that fact itself he is excommunicated. (Denzinger-Hünermann 1661. Julius III, Council of Trent, Session XIV, October 11, 1551)
