According to my reading of Can. 915.
It does not apply since there has been no declaration of excommunication or of interdiction, therefore Can. 915. is not in force.
Can. 916 might apply though. It depends on how grave the sin is to disagree with ones local ordinary on matters of faith and morals, or it might hinge on how grave and public his "active" support for homosexual marriage is. I am no canon lawyer though.
Is the governor of Maryland insane? Male and female genitalia are made for union. Male/male or female/female can only achieve union by means of perverted behavior that is both mentally damaging and physically risky. What about the health and safety of the population the governor is supposed to protect? The governor condones adding risk to the mental and physical health of the people of Maryland by supporting deviant behavior. He should be impeached, IMO.
He is no more CATHOLiC than my Jewuish Husand!!!!! But my Jewish husband RESPECTS LIFE!!!!
That doesn't even make sense!
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
How are CHILDREN treated differently?
Perhaps natural discrimination, as in “eewwww, did you hear Jason has 2 mommies?”, which pretty much everyone faces in life.
But I can’t think of any legal way children of !%#!#$s have “lesser protections”.
Correction: we’ll continue to pick and choose what we want from an abridged, heavily edited Bible.
Give it a rest with the divergent non-sequiturs. You are like the people who must post “what about abortion?” on animal-abuse threads.
Canon 751: “Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him.”
Canon 1364 §1: “an apostate from the faith, a heretic, or a schismatic incurs a latae sententiae excommunication.”
The phrase “latae sententiae” means a judgment or sentence which is 'wide' (latae) or widely applied; it refers to a type of excommunication which is automatic. Such a sentence of excommunication is incurred “by the very commission of the offense,” (CCC 2272) and does not require the future particular judgment of a case by competent authority.
Apostasy, heresy, and schism are all offences which incur a sentence of excommunication automatically. Heresy is the obstinate denial of any truth of the Catholic faith, on a matter of faith or morals, which has been definitively taught by the Magisterium.

Yes, I could see where Rome would teach that the Scriptural solution has nothing to do with the problem.
Correction: we’ll use the Bible while Rome picks its nose.
If he said it was his priority and sponsored it, seems clear to me.
He’d better hope I don’t see him in the communion line, unless he has his arms crossed for a blessing.
