And abortion advocates?

[The Great RJ]

Couldn’t agree more. The Pope should also revive the old bell, book and candle ritual of excommunication and summon serial abuser Mc Carrick to the Vatican for the first to be so publically excommunicated.

[a fool in paradise]

And same sex ‘marriage’ advocates?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

One step at a time works for me.

AND for ACTIVE Homosexual Clergy!

[EEGator]

Sex abuser priests should be excommunicated executed.

Pope St. Pius V

“Having determined to do away with everything that may in some way offend the Divine Majesty, we resolve to punish, above all and without indulgence, those things which, by the authority of the Sacred Scriptures or by most grievous examples, are more repugnant to God than any others and raise His wrath: that is, negligence in divine worship, ruinous simony, the crime of blasphemy, and the execrable libidinous vice against nature. For such faults peoples and nations are scourged by God Who, according to His just condemnation, sends catastrophes, wars, famine, and pestilence ...

“Let the judges know that if, even after this our Constitution, they are negligent in punishing these crimes, they will not only be guilty of them in the divine judgment but also will incur our indignation ...

If someone commits that nefarious crime against nature that caused divine wrath to be unleashed against the children of iniquity, he will be given over to the secular arm for punishment [of death]; and if he is a cleric, he will be subject to the same punishment after having been stripped of all his degrees [of ecclesiastical dignity].”

Starting with Bergoglio.

He added that excommunication is a “hard medicine” that ultimately seeks the good of the one being punished.

Many people misunderstand Excommunication and believe that it is permanent.

Like this paragraph hints, the excommunicant can be ‘recommunicated’.

Excommunication is a form of correction of the faithful that have been persistent in a grave sin and have resisted other forms of correction.

Excommunication severs the member of the congregation from the body of the Church. They are denied the sacraments. And other members are expected to ostracize the excommunicated member.

However, the excommunicant can be readmitted to the body of the Church if he repents and confesses his sin.

Do not be mistaken in the belief that this is not a sever punishment. If the excommunicated does not reform his ways repent and be readmitted to the Church, he faces eternal damnation. Those who advocate the death penalty are mistaken if they believe that it is the worst that can happen to them. Eternal Damnation is far worse.

Or at least kicked completely out of the priesthood.

Thank You!

Was this an encyclical or what?

[ebb tide]

It was the papal bull:

Apostolic Constitution Horrendum illud scelus

Here’s how one saintly pope would clean up gay orgies at the Vatican

[ebb tide]

PAPAL BULL HORRENDUM ILLUD SCELUS

( “ That Horrendous Crime ” )

BY POPE ST. PIUS V

[piusv]

Assuming these men are actually Catholic to begin with, if they repent of their sin, they are re-admitted.

Then what?

[G Larry]

Readmitted to the Church, not reinstated with Priestly faculties.
