Two US Bishops Support Excommunication of New York Governor Over ‘Vile’ Abortion Law

Washington, D.C., January 25, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Two U.S. bishops are calling for the excommunication of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for his role in enshrining a “fundamental right” to virtually-unlimited abortion in the state.

Knoxville, Tennessee, Bishop Richard Stika and Tyler, Texas, Bishop Joseph Strickland both indicated that if Cuomo lived in their jurisdiction they would take action. Strickland urged Cuomo’s ordinaries to do so.

“Someone asked me today if I would issue an excommunication of a Catholic Governor under my jurisdiction if the Governor did the same as in New York,” Stika tweeted Thursday afternoon. “I think I might do it for any Catholic legislator under my jurisdiction who voted for the bill as well as the Governor.”

“Enough is enough,” said Stika. “Excommunication is to be not a punishment but to bring the person back into the Church. It's like medicine for them. But this vote is so hideous and vile that it warrants the act. But thankfully I am not in that position. Very sad.”

Bishop Strickland backed Stika up in the early hours of Friday. Mincing no words, he called the radical abortion law “infanticide.”

“I’m with Bishop Stika,” he said. “I’m not in a position to take action regarding legislation in New York but I implore bishops who are to speak out forcefully. In any sane society this is called INFANTICIDE!!!!!!!!!!”

"NY Cardinal Refuses To Excommunicate Gov. Cuomo Over Abortion Law: 'Should Not Be Used As A Weapon'"

[bramps]

When’s the government shutdown to defund Planned Parenthood as promised President Trump? See how you are rewarded Mr. President by the wonderful left and your liberal daughter and son in law? We’re now funding the killing of live babies. Well done.

[ebb tide]

This is a church matter and they should excommunicate him quietly...

That's B.S.

Excommunication ferendæ sententiæ can be public only, as it must be the object of a declaratory sentence pronounced by a judge; but excommunication latæ sententiæ may be either public or occult. It is public through the publicity of the law when it is imposed and published by ecclesiastical authority; it is public through notoriety of fact when the offence that has incurred it is known to the majority in the locality, as in the case of those who have publicly done violence to clerics, or of the purchasers of church property.

[ebb tide]

Nope. He’s now down in Panama promoting socialism and illegal invasions. Not a peep about abortion.

[Jane Long]

How sickening and sad.

I wonder if this Bishop will say anything AFTER the fact, to Cuomo.

The Cardinal refuses to excommunicate??? That this vile law shouldn’t be used as a weapon???

Geez...does he even realize how offensive and inhumane his wording is??? Like these full term (or any gestation age) babies don’t have a “weapon” being used against them and their lives???

Unreal.

Cuomo ‘on edge’ as federal corruption probe continues

EXCERPT Cuomo is “freaked-out and furious” over Silver's bombshell criminal charges — “obsessed with fear’’ b/c of the corruption probe. Cuomo is described as “doubly enraged’’ by the decision to bring the criminal charges against Silver just hours after the governor delivered his SOTU — and less than 24 hours after that, to vocally indict Albany’s “three men in a room’’ culture in which Cuomo is the lead player.“Cuomo feels Preet just walked all over him,’’ said the source. Knowledgeable insiders, including L/E experts, said it wasn’t accidental that Bharara brought charges against Silver just hours after Cuomo’s SOTU.--SNIP--

Cuomo’s Empire State Development Corp.---a govt agency---offers few details to the public to justify its billions of dollars in grants.....(such as where they're going?).

STEALTH HOUSING GRANTS NOT A COINCIDENCE Cuomo is Bill Clinton's appointee to head HUD---a federal agency known for rank corruption.

In 2008, the Village Voice published a compelling report detailing Andrew Cuomo's HUD policy decisions "that gave birth to the country's current crisis."

The report touched on how Cuomo's 187-page rules "opened the door to abuse." The rules explicitly rejected the idea of imposing any new reporting requirements on the GSEs. In other words, HUD wanted Fannie and Freddie to buy risky loans, but the department didn't want to hear just how risky they were.

Cuomo got lucky-- New York voters were distracted by his gubernatorial opponent's racist jokes; and failed to see the actual harm to the minority community directly caused by Cuomo's policies..

Cuomo's top aide said, "We believe that there are a lot of loans to black Americans that could be safely purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac if these companies were more flexible."

NOT TO MENTION MASSIVE BAILOUTS W/ OUR TAX DOLLARS Andrew Cuomo doubled down and had this to say about his HUD standards, "GSE presence in the subprime market could be of significant benefit to lower-income families, minorities, and families living in underserved areas."

How's that working out for the minority community, where foreclosures and unemployment rates have hit the hardest as a result of such failed policies and blatant social engineering?

Only two? How the church has fallen.

[dfwgator]

You can bet Bergoglio doesn’t support it.

[Liz]

Andy's political vision goes all the way from A-B....just another Loony Tune that found his inner moron.
Abortion worshippers and other mentally challenged weirdos, tripped over themselves to come out of their little liberal man caves.

Gov Andy hires only practiced genital-sniffers for state govt jobs.
In fact, Big Pharma's putting out a nasal spray for the genital-sniffing habit---to treat sexually transmitted diseases of the nasal passages.

Abortion Worshipper Cuomo has a Master Plan---b/c everybody knows in politics, to burnish
one's bona fides to get higher office, you must feed the snarling "choice" crowds more and more red meat.

WHAT'S NEXT FOR NY? Cuomo will demand medical reports and checkoffs for newborns w/ diseases; toddlers who have bow legs, 3-4 year olds who won't put away their toys, the ones who won't toilet-train. Next Cuomo will troll kindergartens for kids who don't color within the lines---all of them marked for post-birth abortions.

[Songcraft]

It sure is.   I find it so hard to believe.   Talk about the "smoke of Satan" infiltrating the Church...

[Capt. Tom]

That's B.S.

==================================

Just goes to show---Cuomo will do anything to get access to a woman's vagina.

Woman need to ask themselves---do you want this guy messing around with YOUR vagina?

[ebb tide]

The only ones being excommunicated are the good priests who blow the whistle on pervert priests:

Bishop Loverde, Where is Fr. James Haley?

[ebb tide]

Public figures need public excommunications.

it is public through notoriety of fact when the offence that has incurred it is known to the majority in the locality,

[Jane Long]

I don’t think it’s the vagina that dirty Cuomo is wanting to get.

He and ILLary were HUGE backers of this sick legislation.

I think it has more to do with the selling of parts.

This is how evil and sick these people are.

[Nuc 1.1]

Agreed.

[Liz]

No question.

[rllngrk33]

Only Two?? WTF is wrong with the Catholic Church?

Never mind, I know it's infected with sodomites.

[joma89]

And in the end, the Catholic church will not do it because they give in to bullies and when they are ‘pressured’ just like the Bishop in the Covington Diocese.
