Have those very liberal Rpman Catholics been excommunicated from the RCC for their support of abortion, for example?

[keeper53]

oops, Roman, not Rpman.

Yes. Anyone who procures or participates in an abortion is excommunicated latae sententiae.

Ok...now I am going...really.

Abortion, although an old sin, is a new legal reality in the US. It has been legal only since 1973. The Church us always slow to develop a consistent policy in regard to new things - including to legal abortion (first legalized in teh western world in Protestant Iceland in 1947 by the way). Support for abortion is sinful, but not necessarily excommunicable in itself as things are commonly understood. Bishops should respond to pro-abort politicians by denying them the Eucharist.
