We need an encyclical on the difference between former and lapsed.

It’s somewhat amusing that the Catholic church didn’t ex-communicate them and the excuse is that they ex-communicated themselves.

It kind of absolves the RCC from actually taking responsibility for the action. They could have done it anyway. They SHOULD HAVE done it anyway.

Otherwise, it demonstrates the same lack of moral fiber that they’ve been displaying for years now in regards to dealing with the pedophile priests and abortion supporting leftist politicians.

That way, they can wash their hands of the matter and not have to deal with the unpleasantness of actually making a statement or take a stand. All it does is demonstrate weakness on the part of the Catholic church..

In a church I once attended, a member’s name was removed from the membership list because of adultery. Now, anticipating this, the person quit the church before the action was taken, but the pastor and elders took the action officially anyway on principle. They wanted it on record that this action was taken against that person so that there would be no question about their position.
