Why does the news article label these people as Catholic?
The label assumes agreement with Church teaching.
This is so pathetic but I’m almost amused at their notion they can succeed with this. Their smug arrogance is astounding
You’re right. They’re driving themselves away from the Church, and they don’t recognize the thing they’ve given the car keys & steering wheel to. Gonna have to pray for their souls, as well a complete lack of success on the Evil One’s part in this.
Then why doesn't the RC church excommunicate; an act that rarely ever happens?
The same reason they keep calling the Westboro Baptist lunatic cult a "church."
