Abortion, Catholics, and the Catholic Church, why I am annoyed.

For the last 30 odd years the Catholic Church has been telling Roman Catholics of the evils of abortion, and the congregants agree. This past election, 52% of Catholics who voted, voted for the pro-abortion candidates and pro-abortion political party, and both won.

So what kind of Catholics attend religious services if more than half, who voted, voted to reject their Catholicism?

The Catholic Church has been teaching the evils of abortion and urging Catholics to get involved in ending abortions in the United States of America (USA). Urged to pray, to march, demonstrate, and write political representatives. They have been rather consistent in keeping the congregants motivated and involved. The Church however has been talking the talk, but not walking the walk. The Catholic Church has a powerful instrument at their disposal they can use, but thus far have refused to do so. The Church should excommunicate those Catholic politicians who publically support and vote in favor of abortion. Those who vote in favor of the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), should be refused the sacrament of Holy Communion, the Eucharist, and excommunicated.

Three should be thrown out immediately who claim to be Roman Catholic: Senator Ted Kennedy, Vice President Joe Biden, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Excommunicate them, it would cause a rage, plus create a political storm and raise further awareness of this issue. Sure it is the Bishops who make such a decision, but they do hold conferences where they can all agree on this action. If they still insist on being politically correct, perhaps the Vatican can issue a letter to that effect? It is time for Catholics, both lay and clergy to stand as one and use every peaceful and legal tool at their disposal.

You forgot one thing, not everyone is catholic. A politicians job is to protect the rights of EVERYONE, not just the sympathies of catholics. The church is asking its members to be activists against abortion because the separation of church and state does not allow them to enter the political arena by trying to enforce policy. Excommunicating politicians would be doing just that.

@simplenametag - You also forgot one thing: the title to this video.

Don't forget Senator John Kerry!

Something tells me that we don't know all of the facts. However, going by what is known, this video is absolutely correct.

What is this about excommunication? It sounds like Inquisition!!! You should update your mind, you are living in the Middle Ages!!!!

@langhard1 If the Churches truths rested on such a claim you would be right. However they never did and indeed much of modern astronomy is in part the result of scientists sponsored by the Church or who were clergymen in it. You are critiquing what you think Catholicism teaches, rather than what we do. As to your other point to borrow from CS Lewis (who btw wasn't Catholic...), I am a child of Adam. This is enough to make any beggar feel regal or any emperor feel ashamed.

@langhard1 Not at all Langhard, I base my remarks on the content of your posts thus far. For you to accusse me of making a 'hateful' remark while making large assertions you have not shouldered the burden of proof for is the very definition of ironical.
