re: #143 Gang of One

Would Rome, has Rome, ever excommunicated anyone guilty of such heinous behavior? Does Rome even excommunicate anymore? Do Catholics fear excommunication as they did in the past?
Honest question, friends.

Sure they still excommunicate people, they excommunicated everyone who helped the poor nine year old girl who was pregnant with twins because she was raped by her father in Brazil get an abortion. The lawyers who fought for her in court so that she could have the procedure, her mother, the doctors, they were all excommunicated. But not the father who raped her in the first place…go figure.

Even though they had multiple doctors opinions saying it would be impossible for the nine year old’s body to carry twins to term. The churches position was that if it killed her as the doctors said it would then that was only Gods will and man should not interfere.

Sigh…
