Those were NOT Catholics. Those were CINOs who don’t know that voting dimocrat is committing a mortal sin. They don’t realize that the dimocrat’s have a plank in their party platform supporting abortion.
They are only CINOs, not Catholics.
Whatever happened to *once a Catholic, always a Catholic* and that baptism into the Catholic church leaves an indelible mark on the soul?
On what or whose authority do you disown those whom the Catholic church has not ex-communicated and who the Catholic church still counts as members to make that 1.2 billion strong?
We have heard that before also, and i do understand your grief, but while we defend a general evangelical faith which formally separates from mainline Prots, RCs cannot do that except to be in schism as the SSPX and Sedevacantists and EOs, did to different degrees.
And until Rome effectually makes it manifest that voting democrat is committing a mortal sin, and excommunicates men like Ted Kennedy and supporters or otherwise treats them as such (so they become the small minority which TCs are now, instead of being the majority), rather than counting and treating them as members in life (and in stats) and in death, then we must also count them as members, and as representing what Rome most effectually conveys, and what constitutes what she asserts is the OTC.
