As I said on another thread, Speaker Polosi has just received her 2nd (and last) call to repentance and reconciliation. The next move is up to Speaker Polosi. She has exhausted her appeals....”

I’m not Catholic, but this is sorta what I was thinking when the visit with the Pope was announced. It’s a chain of command issue. She just met the last link in the chain.

The Pope, and your church, would be crucified by the leftist press, but I figure the Pope could care less.

I'm not Catholic either - but there's one link left in the chain. There's no coming back from that meeting.

I also said on the other thread that I was very sad to realize there was a question as to which way Speaker Polosi would choose.

From the text of this article, it appears that her choice has been made. As I said, you aren’t excommunicated by anyone in the Church — you excommunicate yourself.

As in the old tradition, when you affirm something three times — it is bound — unless you repent and make reconciliation. Excommunication isn’t forever.

Hmmm, seems to me I heard something about another crucifixion once and that turned out pretty well. Lots of souls were saved as a result.

And that's different from every other day how? He's used to it. So are we.
