Dear sinkspur,

Mr. Kerry's excommunication needs the same official declaration as the neighborhood abortionist's excommunication. That is to say, it is self-evidently true, needing no recognition from higher authority.

Nonetheless, to me the actions of the Vatican show that they are likely moving in that direction, of an official recognition of the excommunicated status of pro-abort politicians. And sooner, rather than later, although I don't think before Nov 2.

You may be right, though JPII has been reluctant to pull the trigger on excommunication. And it could backfire if the Church made a big deal of it before the election.

There's no chance that O'Malley will do anything.

If Kerry is elected they HAVE to do something. It would be devastating to Christianiy, the Church and human civilization that a person who voted against the ban on partial birth abortion, is a Communion going, self-proclaimed Catholic, has become president of the United States and Leader of the Free World
