Non-Catholic brothers and sisters, join us as we Conservative Catholics put our money where our mouths are. Nancy Pelosi is a resident of San Francisco, and I say we let the good bishops of that town know how we feel about her abortion stance and that she should be excommunicated:

Is it done often? Excommunicating politicians for anti-Church positions?

Not nearly often enough.

Is it done often? Excommunicating politicians for anti-Church positions?

It use to be in the old days. There was one pope (I forget which) who issued a blanket excommunication to EVERY card carrying Communist. That was back when popes didn't give a hoot. And in the old days in America, politicians were frightened of the influence that Catholic bishops wielded. Not so much now

Now the bishops are kinda scared, sad to say. But it would be a lot easier to inundate one bishop of one diocese with tons of mail and phone calls than it would be to do the same to the pope.

 

[MrJim]

Why isn't the Pope or Cardinals gettin' this done? Do they generally leave regional issues to the area Bishop?

Absolutely. Contrary to popular belief, the pope does not interfere in the doings of other bishops' diocese.

Those who vote to put them in office should also be denied communion, IMO. I've heard more than one priest state this as his position as well.

While I'm passionately pro-life/pro-mother/pro-child, and while I'd respect the Archbishop if he excommunicated this "Catholic," I regard the internal actions of the Catholic Church as (to be blunt) none of my business. I left the Catholic Church, and when I did, I "left" any previlage I might have add to express my recommendations.


I will, however, continue to daily pray for the Catholic Church, for God's richest blessings to her, her ministers, members and Holy Father. And I often give thanks for her bold, consistent and often couragious pro-life stand and ministries.


Thank you.


Pax

I doubt it will doing any good given the attiude many Catholics have about us Protestants that we aren't even real Christians.

 

[ReformedChapin]

Would the bishop even care what protestants much less reformed christians like myself would say?

I was just going by their official stance. Guess those Ohio catholics forgot to listen to the pope again.

Or maybe forgot to tell them.

Pelosi, Pope Have No Meeting of the Minds

It would appear from the two statements issued by the Vatican and the speaker's office that Nancy Pelosi and Pope Benedict did not share the same views during her audience with the pontiff

I mean, if you think he would really listen, awesome... sign me up. But will it really do any good? I just want some assurance.

Let the dead bury the dead.

I don't care to get mixed up with the Catholic church anymore than they care what I have to say.
