The Church had better begin excommunicating... even Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion have been influenced by these supposed "Catholic" Politicians are committing the sacrilege of condoning abortion and distributing the Blessed Sacrament to the faithful.

Kucinich?!?! I would not be surprised if Pilla kissed him flat out on the lips before he ever had a hand in excommunicating him. Tony Pilla himself is a piece of work.

Paragraph 2285 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
Scandal takes on a particular gravity by reason of the authority of those who cause it or the weakness of those who are scandalized. It prompted our Lord to utter this curse: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." Scandal is grave when given by those who by nature or office are obliged to teach and educate others. Jesus reproaches the scribes and Pharisees on this account: he likens them to wolves in sheep's clothing.
In this case, the authorities giving scandal are both politicians and their clerical fan club.
