Sorry, but why is this coming now? All pro-abort Caths should be out of fellowship with the church regardless if they are on the world stage or not.
There is no such thing as a pro-abortion Catholic.
One can be pro-abortion or one can be Catholic. One cannot be both.
Archbishop Wuerl pointed out the Catechism of the Catholic Church is clear, and has been clear for 2,000 years. He cited Catechism language that reads, “Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception … Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law.”
This has been building within the Catholic Church for quite a while now. I think it has reached a flash point and the Pelosi comments combined with Biden has begun to set it off. I know in our parish there is none of the wishy-washiness that the MSM would lead you to believe there is.
They are. That's why the pews are empty. It doesn't stop them from claiming to be Catholic from time to time however, pretending to be on moral high ground over one issue or another.
