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.

See post #12.

John Kerry has not only committed a grave sin (that itself rendering him ineligible for Communion), but by giving public moral support to abortion rights, he is guilty of attempting to help procure successful abortions, which renders him automatically excommunicated.

This is a very important development. If the Archdiocese agrees that Kerry has incurred an automatic excommunication, t will send the signal to all prominent Catholics--laity and clergy--NOT TO DEFY THE CHURCH'S MORAL TEACHINGS.

That is not the canonical definition of "procure." Kerry is guilty of grave sin, but he is not involved in procuring abortions.
