so why hasn’t she and others like her been ex-communicated? A bit less talk and more action from these priests, please.
A priest can't excommunicate. That is up to the bishop. And you're right. This needs to start happening. And the quicker the better. There's lots of DEMS out there that would shiite their pants if the bishops let loose with a number of excommunications.
IMO, two bishops have the authority to excommunicate a pro-abortion congressthing: The bishop of the congressthing's home diocese, and the Archbishop of Washington. So ... IMO, if you wish to express your concerns to someone with the authority to act on them, communicating with those two bishops would be appropriate.
If the Church cracks down on members who support abortion, it could lose a lot of members.
You can’t just crack down on the famous.
She should have been excommunicated years ago.
Today’s Catholic Church is a non-profit secular organization with the trappings of a religion. It’s already losing members and doesn’t want to lose more.
So it’s rules are meaningless, aren’t followed and haven’t been followed for years.
The Catholic Church left me long ago. Thank God intermediaries (be they churches or people) are not required for salvation.

The same reason all those Obama-loving blacks who claim to be against abortion are not kicked out of their churches. They are hypocrites. No one can vote for the most pro-abortion politician in American history and still claim they are pro-life. Same thing can be said for anyone that votes for Obama and claims to be pro-life. There is no such thing as pro-life democrats. You can’t claim you are pro-life and stay in a party that wants abortion on demand, right on up to 9 months. HYPOCRITICAL BASTARDS is what they are.
