And yet
Wait a minute! Havent more than a few prominent Catholic politicians held press conferences to announce their support for unrestricted legal abortion on demand? Havent they been amply warned that support for legal abortion is gravely wrong, and separates them from the Church to which they protest their fidelity? If theres any argument to be made for the excommunication of corrupt politicians, theres a stronger argument for excommunication of Catholic politicians who support abortion.

This is not good news...this Pope is such a disaster...I do not believe he even believes in God...if Pope Francis starts excommunicating Catholics in the USA, it won't be the people who should be excommunicated...it'll be politicians who vote for the wall along the Mexican border...yes, it's really that bad...Pope Francis recently publicly embraced an unrepentant abortionist in Italy, calling her, “one of the greats”...if he excommunicates anyone in the USA, do you really think it'll be Nancy Pelosi?...not bloody likely!

The “Catholic” Campaign for Human Development gets caught every year by the Lepanto Institute and other investigators giving money to pro-abortion groups, supporting pro-abortion politicians, financing campaign workers for pro-abortion politicians, forming coalitions with pro-abortion groups, etc., etc.
Every year, (and the lefty bishop in charge) they express outrage at the Lepanto Institute’s “lies,” and then they back down.
And the following year they get caught again.
The explanation is pretty simple: They don’t know anyone who ISN’T pro-abortion.
It has become obvious that Bergoglio and his inner circle literally don’t know anyone who isn’t an actual abortionist or a supporter of abortion. (They systematically freeze out “climate deniers,” which guarantees that everyone they talk to is pro-abortion.)
This new dicastery is going to get caught over and over snuggling with and giving money to abortion-promoting organizations.

Wouldn’t be feasible for them to excommunicate corruption. To excommunicate someone from corruption they have to be a proven to be corrupt. How would the Church go about doing that? Canon law insists that a person is innocent until proven guilty. So they would need to convene an ecclesiastic tribunal and request criminal records.
That wont happen.
