"I got kicked out of the Catholic church for being pregnant at 16. I did not have an abortion, like a lot of the other girls in the parish who got pregnant did."

It is not canonically possible for a person of any age or condition to be "kicked out of the church" for being pregnant. If somebody TOLD you you were being kicked out of the Church, they were lying to you.

I am very serious about this. Anyone saying you were excluded from the Church was violating your Baptismal rights as a Catholic, pronouncing an erroneous judgment in terms of canon Law, and and gravely sinning against justice and charity.

How long ago did this happen to you? Who did this to you? Did you not question this? Please consider this sincerely and answer this: you have been cruelly and seriously misled.

Thank you for your concern, I mean that. I’m not surprised I was lied to. It wasn’t the only time I, or my family, was lied to by our local diocese. The first time was with the child molesting priest who no one would do anything about. I believe you when you say they were gravely sinning against justice. Our diocese was, and probably still is, rotten to the core.

The problems with a priest from a neighboring parish began in 1975 (molesting me and some other girls). I was kicked out in 1976 by the priest of our parish. I was also kicked out of catechism, in front of the whole class. A lot of people in our parish didn’t agree and said what he did was wrong.

Looking back I can see I was cruelly mislead. But you know what? I left and got saved in a Christian church.

All this hoopla going on with the Catholic church tolerating people like Pelosi and Biden and their idiotic comments is just more of the same corruption.

But I don’t think all dioceses are like the one I grew up in. My husband grew up Catholic, went to Catholic schools and almost became a priest, and he’s horrified by my experience. Also, the same problems can be seen anywhere there are large religious organizations. I would just like to see the Catholic church stop tolerating such evil.
