He said too much and did the required backpedaling in his "pastoral letter". I am not accusing him of being pro-abortion, only that he has his priorities confused. His position on material property grab is much tougher than his position on the pro-life teachings of the Church.

Under Burke it's too easy to get excommunicated for not letting him take your own property. I don't believe this type of "excommunication" to have any meaning. It's like a priest-confessor refusing the absolution to a penitent who refuses to go to bed with him.

And this private judgment of yours arose from which deposit of faith?

I don't blame them. They are happy to have a priest, any priest, celebrate the Mass after 17 months.

You are happy in their state of sin?
