Dear Bishop Zubic,
Regarding your “To Hell with You” letter, you have advised us to contact our political representatives. I maintain that this is fruitless. They didn’t listen when they passed the Health Care Law and they won’t listen to us now.
So, instead, I am contacting you.
Use your authority as Bishop to EXCOMMUNICATE every Democrat Congress person who participated in the passage and/or support of this abominable legislation.
In particular, excommunicate our Pittsburgh Rep. Doyle. He was instrumental in convincing Bart Stupak and his “pro-life” group to support the law.
I am sorry to say, but until YOU use your authority to take the Church’s responsible action against these so-called “Catholic” (Democrat) Congressmen and women, your words will ring hollow and the evil legislation will become deeper and deeper ingrained into our society.
Not to mention the responsibility to stand up to this is going to be squarely around the necks of these Apostles successors so if they believe what they preach they better do something, and if they don’t, well, I guess they will find out at that whole last breath moment. God will not be mocked, and thousands upon thousands of christians have been martyred for much much less.
Excellent point! The bishops remained silent for too long; now, like a pack of wolves, they begin to howl. There was a news article the other day suggesting that Obama's decision was predicated by the silence of the bishops. If I find it, I will post the link.

Not positive but I believe a bishop can only excommunicate within his own diocese. For the most part, those congressmen who participate in such practices self-excommunicate themselves.
