Agreed. Excommunication latae sententiae is NOT the answer. When priests like this one actively spread heresy and involve themeselves repeatedly in public scandal, it’s not enough to say that, well, he will quietly go to Hell in due time.
No. In the first place, it is the duty of his superiors to try to save his soul by counseling him. And if that proves futile, then it is their duty to remove him from the priesthood. Latae sententiae should serve as a threat and a warning to people not to commit these sins. But if they flagrantly, repeatedly, and publicly commit them, then it’s past time for the next step.
Since his immediate superiors are Jesuit heretics, it is AT LEAST incumbent on the bishop to refuse to allow him to preside over masses or to give sermons in any parish churches in the Diocese. And frankly, it’s time to kick the Jesuit order out of dioceses like Washington, if they are going to continually be a public scandal to God and the Church.
Thank you for the info but I maybe missing the point - I call for the church at whatever level to hold to account purported “Catholics” who are elected to office and able to form (or at least, argue for...) societal dictates that reflect their Catholic beliefs, not reinforce present cultural popular views. If they don’t excommunicate these guys, then the Church leadership is saying you the masses do as we dictate but those prominent folks get a pass. Shameful hypocracy up and down the Catholic chain of command.
