Thirteen Catholic lawmakers in the U.S. Senate voted Monday in favor of a failed attempt to pass a sweeping new abortion law that threatened to override states’ pro-life laws and remove restrictions on abortion up to the point of birth, in some cases.
Their support of the defeated bill, called the Women’s Health Protection Act, placed them sharply at odds with the clear teaching of their Catholic faith, which strictly prohibits abortion and condemns efforts to promote it. Church leaders and Catholic pro-life advocates were quick to criticize the senators’ votes after the measure was defeated on Feb. 28.
“Catholics are tired of seeing their faith used as a political football on the campaign trail, then thrown aside by Catholic political figures when they need to vote along the party line against the Church’s most fundamental moral teachings,” Joshua Mercer, the communications director for CatholicVote, said Monday.
“One of the standout examples tonight was Sen. Bob Casey, a self-proclaimed Catholic who has again and again presented himself to Catholic voters as pro-life.”
Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, took to Twitter to denounce that state’s two Democrat senators — Jack Reed, a Catholic, and Sheldon Whitehouse — for supporting what Tobin called a “very extreme pro-abortion bill.”
Completely incredible.
Actually, it’s the Greek - kata holos “according the whole”.
Excommunication is supposed to be medicinal. And you prolly already know there are certain actions that merit self excommunication (latae sententiae). I’m thinking these 13 tools of the dark one don’t imagine they need any medicine and could care less if they were publicly called out for their sins. (With the majority of bishops being cowards and traitors... fat chance!) I never underestimate God’s mercy but the Church is filled with so many who want to destroy her from within (Bergoglio on down) that I wish Jesus would come and clean house already. Keep the faith! Mater Ecclesiae ora pro novia!

You can’t be a Catholic and a Democrat, they mutually exclusive belief systems.
