How hard is it to excommunicate people who are already separated from the Church and hated by everyone including the media? I’m glad he did it, but it would mean a lot more to excommunicate pro-abortion politicians.

excommunicating powerful people is always iffy. The Pope has shown the courage to excommunicate the ones that might kill you. I believe he is setting an example for the bishops to deal with the pro-abortion politicians.

“excommunicating powerful people is always iffy.”

Okay.

“The Pope has shown the courage to excommunicate the ones that might kill you.”

Do you think they necessarily care? Seriously, do you think they were regular church goers who will now be upset they’re cut off from the sacraments?

“I believe he is setting an example for the bishops to deal with the pro-abortion politicians.”

I hope so.
