>>Any Catholic who support abortion is automatically excommunicated. It is considered a GRAVE sin.
Enough with the automatic! The bishops need to stand in the church door and publicly tell them they cannot enter.
These politicians want the Catholic vote without adhering to Church doctrine. All well and good, but they crossed the line - into the bishops’ territory - when they presumed to be theologians.
“Enough with the automatic! The bishops need to stand in the church door and publicly tell them they cannot enter.”
Backed by enough force to prevent them from entering.
I am with with you about the bishops taking an even stronger stand BUT, they would never bar them from entering the Church. They should not be allowed to receive the Communion. And, again, this should be AFTER that bishop has personally informed and counseled the person in question.
