a pro abort Catholic layperson..no shortage of them
shame they do not listen to their clergy, there is no ambiguity in the church’s stance
even if some nuns are absolute nuts for the Dems
my church is pretty firm on abortion...as in no way can a member be public in support of it
why doesn’t the church simply excommunicate these people?
isn’t that what they are supposed to do...it would sure suit me
They ARE excommunicated. It doesn’t work like our legal system. It’s like this: they take communion with mortal sin on their souls and they compound the sin. They are supposed to repent (change) and get to confession, in order to be not excommunicated.
Anyway, they get sanctioned eventually, but not here.
Cardinal Burke did have it right when he refused to give communion to persons publicly espousing abortion rights.
But Catholics know from formation that it is a mortal sin to promote abortion/murder. They are excommunicated.
