The Supreme Paper-Pusher could resign. Seems a pointless “job” anyway.

“...but those who actively supported the law have seriously separated themselves from the church and should not receive Communion.”

But what if they disagree, and just ignore this statement from the bishop? Abortion is either a big deal or it isn’t.

He shouldn’t be excommunicated, but a public rebuke might be in order.

As the law was being debated, Spain's bishops had said Catholic members of parliament who vote to liberalize abortion would place themselves outside the church and should not receive Communion.

A question: Would something similar apply to Roman Catholics who legislate in other countries (such as the USA)?
