Important development here. Pinging a few FReepers I thought might be interested.

That ain't written on no 1973 typewriter!
Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark.

From the 1983 Code of Canon Law:
Can. 1398 -- Qui abortum procurat, effectu secuto, in excommunicationem latae sententiae incurrit. ("A person who procures a successful abortion incurs an automatic excommunication.")
One of my favorite parts of Christianity is its clear moral absolutism.
It can't happen quickly enough . . . can it?
Until Ratzinger or JPII acts in an official capacity, (since excommunication is an official, external Church penalty), there is no excommunication.
Would you all do me the favor of interpreting it for me.
Does this mean that Kerry IS excommunicated, that he MIGHT BE SOON excommunicated, that we are FAR FROM the day he gets excommunicated, that this process will NEVER get him excommunicated.
Your answer and any brief explanation would be appreciated. Thanks.
Bump this one!
Looks like JF'nK will have to become a Episcopalian.
It's the right thing to do, but it will have some backlash. I know more angry 20-somethings (grown children) who resent being raised catholic and are now liberals just out of spite. Only a few folks that age I know are still faithful.
It is October. I am surprised.
Thank you for the very good post.
The image source for your posted letter does not match the linked source. Plus the letter appears to be over a month old, so how is this a "dramatic development"?
I couldn't find the letter at your linked source.
It's promising. But unfortunately it will never see the light of day. My experience is that, at least on the parochial level, Catholic priests are very comfortable discussing the impact of political issues (such as abortion and capital punishment) on Catholicism; however, they are somewhat reluctant to promote or condemn individual politicians. In this respect, priests are very different from the Protestant clergy.
By the way...this is a bet I would love to lose.
BTTT
I don't think it's heresy what he is doing. But he is sinning. Make sense?
Now, I will not allow somebody to come in and change Roe v. Wade.
The president has never said whether or not he would do that. But we know from the people he's tried to appoint to the court he wants to.
I will not. I will defend the right of Roe v. Wade.
Heresy. Excommunication. Will this be part of our public debate?
