This is a extremely huge news item, I posted it myself, but it cannot be posted enough. Excommunication should be THE DEATH NAIL as far as Catholics are concerned and it should indicate to the rest of the Christian World the gravity of what this means.
Support of Homosexuality, same sex marriage would also be cause for excommunication.
We had the weasel sermon this Sunday from the priests in our area.
I wish they'd take a stand. The idea that you can have one foot on land and the other on water only means you'll lose your balance and fall into the drink.
I know they are scared of the big bad boogey of someone in the pews screaming "church/state," but the teaching of the church are unequivocal.
I was raised Catholic but I'm not attending services now so I'd hardly call myself one. My mom's the same way, yet we both agree: Every time Kerry says 'I'm a Catholic' it makes our skin crawl. NO WAY are we voting for this sorry SOB.
