How about warning them before the vote? The vote wasn’t a secret, its been known for a while it was coming.
Canon Law is not a secret. If the bishops are willing to take this action afterward, I'd have a hard time believing that they didn't issue the appropriate warnings beforehand.

And you, of course, checked to see if they were warned, right? No, I didn’t think so.
This is from 2008. That’s right. 2 - 0 - 0 - 8:

Thus, as anyone can see, the Church warned these pro-death scumbags in 2008. And that warning was BEFORE they voted for it in 2008. Feel free to admit you were wrong any time, okay?
