Sinky, you are referring to the external forum.

In the internal forum, the state of Mr. Kerry's affiliation (or rather, lack thereof) with our Church is quite clear. He holds heresies publicly, he is divorced and remarried outside the Church without the benefit of an annulment, and he takes communion with and worships with non-Catholics. He is clearly not a member of the Church in good standing so far as his outward actions reflect his internal disposition.

Of course. In the internal forum, Kerry's external and public positions are contrary to defined doctrine.

But, a public excommunication of a public official would not be announced by an O.D. canon lawyer in an "unofficial" letter.

I don't think that you can prove this contention.

Kerry's an excommunicandus based on the abortion question alone and likely now regrets deeply having married Teresa, regardless of the validity.

Heee, heee, heeee.
