Santa Rosa Bishop Robert Vasa Sunday called politicians who support abortion rights “unfit for public office” and suggested they face excommunication from the Catholic Church for expressing such a position.
Good for him! About time! I heard an interesting story in regard to this subject just the other day…in the 1950’s there were politicians in Washington that were promoting segregation. These were “Catholic” politicians. Their Bishops publicly and quickly EXCOMMUNICATED them. No dancing around, no multiple meetings to try and change their minds, just EXCOMMUNICATED. The difference between then and now.
