Now if the Catholic Church would finally ex-communicate pro-abortion lawmakers who claim to be Catholic...

They have excommunicated themselves according to Canon Law. I agree with you, though... it's time to make it very public.

In my thinking, Ms Pelosi herself should be excommunicated.

I did not know this about Catecism and Church law so I was glad I watched MTP - the past 2 days have been a real education. I wonder if Russert would have pursued Nancy on this - he was an old alter boy, you know.

The question now is - Is Nancy mistaken, ignorant or telling bald faced LIES?

This underscores the question I have with the Catholic response up until now. Every reply has been to correct her on the issue of when life begins. There has been no response to her statement about still being able to take the Sacrament of Communion.

If, as you say, Canon Law dictates Pelosi has excommunicated herself, the public at large doesn't know or understand this. To us, it would appear the Church is circumventing the issue. Something far more decisive would seem in order.

“excommunicated themselves” is a chicknsht way to approach this.

Take an active step.

They’re encouraging the killing of babies.

I agree. In this age of rapid communication, people need to be able to see CLEARLY that the Church teaches that support for abortion is a grave evil.
