As a proud Christian and Freemason, I would be very, very proud of the Roman Catholic Church if it would go to absolute and total war with the abortionists - and vow ex-communication with members of the Church who voted for democRATS who mindlessly still are democRATS.

The murder of unborn children is a crime not even conceived by our Lord and Savior Jesus.

Meanwhile, millions of democRAT Catholics vote like sheeple for the murdering RAT party.

Dear oldtimer,

A little off-topic, no?

But anyway, the Catholic Church excommunicates all those who directly and proximately participate in the crime of abortion.

Excommunication, however, is a drastic penalty, and a maxim of the Church is that penalties are applied narrowly.

Thus, merely favoring the legality of abortion doesn't incur automatic excommunication.

However, the Church has declared that politicians who publicly support legalized abortion commit objectively grave evil (the matter of mortal sin), and that those who vote for these politicians because they support legalized abortion also commit objectively grave evil.

I assure you, the Church's war against abortion is quite total. A Catholic politician is in grave sin if he does not hold that eventually, abortion should be entirely banned, even in cases of rape or incest or life of the mother. Is your commitment to life as total?
