“That’s a pretty strongly worded statement.”
Oh, baloney. What a crock. What a lie.
It’s as mealy-mouthed a statement as a bishop could issue.
HERE’S a strongly-worded statement:
“Bob Casey, I declare that you are excommunicated ferendae sententiae. Until you publicly repudiate both your pro-homo marriage and your pro-abort positions, and until you quit the Party of Satan and re-register in some political party that is not formally at war with God and the Catholic Church, you will remain excommunicated. You are a formal and public heretic, and you are not to be admitted onto the premises of any church, chapel, oratory or other place of worship within this diocese, to protect the Catholics of my flock against contagion from the moral diseases carried by you and other vermin like you. May God have mercy on your soul. I pray that you will not have to occupy the absolute lowest circles of Hell upon your death. Get thee behind us, Satan.”
I agree. American Bishops need to start naming names and excommunicating those who disavow Church teaching. And Pope Francis NEEDS to get on the Bishops. This is so disgraceful, and as my 15 year old said “lame.” It is “lame”’when (for show and photo ops) CINOS take the host; show up at the Vatican (or their local Cathedral) but don’t follow Church teaching.
Casey is a disgrace.
