I think her point wasn’t about abortion clinic staffers... she was talking about the Kennedy’s, Schumer’s, Pelosi’s, etc.

If those folks didn’t support it so vehemently, it would easier to treat it for what it is...murder. But oddly, many Roman Catholic senators and representatives go against their “church” (much less faith) to support this travesty.

They are Roman Catholic, are they not? The Roman Catholic Church has not excommunicated them, has it? I ask sincerely, because I don’t know. But if it hasn’t... then why are they still communicants?

Had we less of this, there would be no abortion clinic staffers to quibble over.

While we shamefully acknowledge these sinners, my point was not about them.

Oddly, as well, the Catholic Supreme Justices do not, as compared to their Protestant brethren. Compare the voting record of the current five Catholics (including the liberal one) to the record of Protestants on the bench over the last 100 years.

It kinda goes like this: excommunication is a formalized institutional and reluctant recognition of a person's outright declared nonChristianity. But the Church, unlike so many here vehemently claim, does not Judge anyone. If they don't demand it, they are not excommunicated. The Church understands that God Judges all. He will deal with them; those who determinedly sin and fly under the radar will still be dealt with appropriately by God.

Certainly. The genocide going on in this country is absolutely heart breaking.

"They are Roman Catholic, are they not?"

No, actually Charles Schumer is Jewish.

The facts are that Catholics comprised only about 30% of congress and Protestants about 60% of the last 10% congresses. Are you prepared to discuss abortion, homosexual rights and any number of other social issues in that context?
