Excommunicating Catholic politicians is fine, but it will do nothing to lessen the number of abortions. It's showboating. You are decidedly wrong to assume the excommunication of politicians will do NOTHING to slow the holocaust. There are millions of practicing Catholics (not CINOs) who will understand the 'final straw'. The leadership of a Republic, if not held accountable to higher power, will not see the utility in supporting true pro-life legislation. If the politicians are held accountable to their professed faith, the people will elect accordingly, rather than abandon their faith.

Massachusetts Catholics are going to elect someone other than Ted Kennedy to the Senate if the next Archbishop of Boston kicks him out of the Church?
Please.

Right, my friend. It is a sin to show consent to sin by silence when one should speak up.
That's basic Catholic doctrine, and it's not called showboating (not by Catholics, anyway).
