Well, at least four bishops have publicly denounced Kerry. Too bad that they cannot publicly excommunicate him, forcing the rest to stop sheltering him.

If I remember right, back in the middle 1500’s there were some in Trent who had the power and the cahones to actually publicly throw someone out of the church.

But I guess everything is too political now, with too many supporting abortion in the “One and Only True Church”, that the Pope cannot exercise the power that he claims to have. Now the RCC weakly suggests that the reprobate is self-excommunicated, and can sneak into some parish where the Bishop is less Catholic to receive his dose of Grace for the sin of supporting the child slaughter.

"If I remember right, back in the middle 1500’s there were some in Trent who had the power and the cahones [cojones] to actually publicly throw someone out of the church."

We're agreed, then, that what we need is a more robust, muscular, and fully Catholic Church?
