USSCB has said Catholics For Choice ‘is an arm of the abortion lobby.’ Bishops in 1993 said ‘Catholics’ For Choice is not an ‘authentic’ Catholic organization and said it had ‘rejected unity with the church on important issues of long-standing and unchanging church teaching.’

USCCB said in 2000 ‘Catholics’ For Choice ‘is not a Catholic organization, does not speak for the Catholic Church, and in fact promotes positions contrary to the teaching of the Church as articulated by the Holy See and the NCCB,’ and that ‘its activity is directed to rejection and distortion of Catholic teaching about the respect and protection due to defenseless unborn human life.’ USSCB also said, ‘The public relations effort has ridiculed the Holy See in language reminiscent of other episodes of anti-Catholic bigotry that the Catholic Church has endured in the past.’

Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has twice said in 2002 and 2010 that Catholics for a Free Choice: ’1) is not Catholic and 2) does not represent the teachings or views of the Catholic Church.’

Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz legislated automatic interdict from April 15 1996 against Catholics in his diocese who were members of Catholics For Choice (and 11 other organisations were included). He said, that membership ‘is always perilous to the Catholic Faith and most often is totally incompatible with the Catholic Faith.’ Any Catholic who remained a member for month was automatically excommunicated.

Helen M Alvaré, associate professor of law at Catholic University of America, has said CFC has ‘no grass roots base among Catholics.’

I am not surprised. There are examples in the bible of believers going against God, and his appointed representatives on Earth.

Here is one

[BIBLEDRB]Numbers 16:20-35[/BIBLEDRB]
 
  1. (Re) Educate them…
  2. Pray for the conversion of their hearts, minds and souls…
  3. Pray that they are rendered harmless and irrelevant…
  4. Ostracize them…
If these methods don’t work after a reasonable period of time…
  1. Petition the Church to excommunicate them…
 
I just wish our Bishops would come out and call a spade a spade.

Can you say, “material heretics”?

As a lay person, may one petition the Church Authorities to excommunicate another person?
 
This group has essentially been an anti-Catholic, pro-abortion group since their beginning.
The primary thing to catch here is that the group simply isn’t a religious organization. It’s a political advocacy group masquerading as a religious organization. They don’t even do a good job of pretending to any real catholic identity or ethos.

And the claim to represent a majority of catholics is farce. I think she’s retired now, but the joke used to be that CFC consisted basically of Frances Kissling and her fax machine (and not much more).
 
Doctrine is about truth, not about majority vote. These are wannabe Protestants, who think that just because everything else in the West is decided by majority vote, that it must also apply to God. For crying out loud, this puerile grandstanding would get you laughed out of a research colloquy - why do these people think they can try this with the Church?

Yes, and money from her leftist organization funders, perhaps George Soros.
