Thank you, AB. I heard the sincerity in your voice the other day and took no offense.
There is absolutely nothing preventing us from being online friends who share faith in Jesus Christ.
Your answer about Kerry was concise and to the point. Thanks. You say there's no way he'll be excommed.
Dear xzins,
"You say there's no way he'll be excommed."
It would be more accurate to say, since he is already automatically excommunicated, it's unlikely that he will also be excommunicated via an official decree. It happens occasionally, but not often. It's a little redundant.
It is a little more likely that eventually, an official pronouncement recognizing his excommunication will someday be given. But that's not terribly likely, either. He is automatically excommunicated as a formal heretic. Canon law is clear as to the automatic excommunication of heretics.
There are literally millions of Catholics who have directly participated in the crime of abortion, either by procuring one, directly aiding someone in procuring one, directly committing one, or directly assisting in the commission of the crime. Canon law is clear about the automatic excommunication of those who directly participate in the crime of abortion.
They are all excommunicated. But I don't know that you'll find many official pronouncements of the excommunication of any particular individual.
