So your going to Rome then? great!

Possibly, if I can afford to accompany Tim Chichester when the time comes. We're working on getting the petition as well as this Canon Law change request (for which there is ample precedent) directly to the Pope:

WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request the following relief: That Pope John Paul II, Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church take jurisdiction of this petition. Part 1 That Canon 1398 be changed to read: "A person who willfully enables an abortion or euthanization incurs a latae sententiae excommunication. An elected or appointed official who willfully votes for legislation enabling abortion, euthanasia or same-sex unions, or who publicly propagandizes for or promotes abortion, euthanasia or same-sex unions, incurs a latae sententiae excommunication. Canon 915 shall be applied to such public individuals."

This is so important!

My family and friends will be praying for this to happen.

I am also going to pass this on to the Founder of the Holocaust Memorial. He and his wife along with their 11 children walk to the F.S.S.P. Latin Mass every day. They are a family of prayer warriors that will plead this most noble cause to Our Lady.

I have a question.

That Pope John Paul II, Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church take jurisdiction of this petition. Part 1 That Canon 1398 be changed to read: "A person who willfully enables an abortion or euthanization incurs a latae sententiae excommunication.[...]"

If a member of the Catholic Church rejects abortion but supports a law that “willfully enables” others to have one it is considered apostate. If he rejects false creeds (Islam for example) but supports a law that “willfully enables” others to practice said faith (the 1st Amendment) he is not considered apostate.

Why the double standard?

Isn’t it also a sin to “willfully enable” another to place other gods before the Lord? Why does the church turn a blind eye to this?
