In the above link it teaches the Catholic Church’s teaching on how Catholics who join the Masons are automatically excommunicated.

Can anyone tell me why the same shouldn’t be extended to Catholics who work for or support Planned Parenthood?
 
I believe that it is canon law that anyone who cooperates in the procurement of abortion is excommunicated, which excommunication is reserved to the Holy See. In other words, not only is the person barred from all the sacraments but you can’t be readmitted just because you went to confession or even with the permission of the bishop… you have to get the excommunication lifted at the Vatican. I don’t know the reference for this canon though.
 
Anyone who cooperates with an abortion is excommunicated. It is almost impossible to see how anyone could work for Planned Parenthood and not be in material cooperation with abortion.

That is incorrect. Any priest (in the US) can lift the excommunication in confession. That can vary by country.
 
Can. 1398 A person who procures a completed abortion incurs a latae sententiae excommunication.

There is no reservation on that excommunication stated in the current code. I was under the impression that it was reserved to the Local Ordinary.

Here are the reservations.

It would appear from what some on here have said that in the USA there appears to be a very widespread practice or assumption that all or most pastors have been delegated the responsibility and authority by their bishops, to lift the interdicts and excommunications imposed due to involvement in Abortion.

I do not know if that is true.

  1. Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. (Spy/Do good works.)
  2. Employment situation, salary, family needs etc.
3, Too many people telling other people what to do. Casting stones.
  1. Free will.
  2. Depends on where the heart is.
Suppose someone is a NPRC (non-practicing Roman Catholic) and works there and gets paid well. Then let’s say there is a wonderful conversion of heart and epiphany… but the spouse has lost their job and there are 2 kids in Catholic grade school, 2 in Catholic high school and one in college, 4 cars, 2 car payments, 4 car insurances, house payment, etc. You never know. That would be a difficult situation.

A difficult situation does not justify choosing to keep the job when you know that the job is morally wrong.

edit - as for excommunication, I’m not sure.
