Really? What about homosexual priests and nuns? What about abortion loving Catholics, especially Democrat politicians? Consistency is the hobgoblin of simple minds.

What about homosexual priests and nuns ministers and youth leaders? What about abortion loving Catholics non Catholics and Protestants, especially Democrat politicians? Consistency is the hobgoblin of simple Protestant and non-Catholic minds. What about all the contracepting Protestants and non-Catholics?

If there was a thread about the Pope walking on water the protestant would be: “Pope can’t swim.”

Those things have already been said and taught about. He doesn’t need to pronounce excommunication publically for every Tom, Dick, Harry, and Nancy. Besides, every Catholic knows this:

“Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae,” [CIC, can. 1398] “by the very commission of the offense,” [CIC, can. 1314] and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. [Cf. CIC, cann. 1323-1324] The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society.” (C.C.C. # 2272)

“A person who procures a successful abortion incurs an automatic (latae sententiae) excommunication.” [Code of Canon Law 1398]

The Pope doesn’t need to say abortion is wrong every time he opens his mouth. He does take specific events and times to re-emphasize certain things.
