Here, I just posted this in another thread.
looooooooooooooooool, did you seriously just tell me that ALL the Catholics in Canada are in mortal sin, since some of the taxes in this country fund abortions?
Quick, someone tell Cardinal Ouellet and Cardinal Collins - they shouldn't be serving the pope in mortal sin. And the cardinals from the UK. And the cardinals from Australia. And most of the other Cardinals.
You aren't in mortal sin if your country funds abortions with tax dollars. It is a question of PROXIMITY.
You incur a latae sententiae excommunication if: you drive a woman to her abortion appointment; you are the woman receiving the abortion; you are the doctor who performed the abortion; you are on a health committee that approves an abortion for a patient and are directly responsible for whether or not she receives it (ie, directly telling the doctor to perform the abortion or not). Those people are in CLOSEST PROXIMITY to the abortion - DIRECTLY enabling it.
You do NOT incur an excommunication through simply living in a country that uses tax dollars to fund abortion. Nor are you in mortal sin simply by paying taxes to said government. You aren't in control of HOW they use your taxes. Heck, you don't even know where your particular portion of tax money goes - yours could go to the police force or to a public library, and your neighbours could go to healthcare and somehow end up paying for the anaesthesia used in abortions or the hospital bed that a woman uses after her abortion.
I don't know why I post here. I swear you are all out of your minds. Crazy American individualists with a God complex.
Hey, don't beat around the bush... we can take it. Tell us how you really feel.
BTW, there was this Canadian chick that tried to slap me at a gas station because I was from the USA and was usuing the gas station bathroom. Looney! Maybe she thought if she used the same toilet she would catch whatever the USA has?
