If you haven’t heard yet, Bishop Olmsted of the Roman Church has excommunicated a Sister of Mercy who served on the ethics committee at a hospital for her role in the decision to end the pregnancy of a woman whose death was a certainty if the baby was carried to term.
Now this is a disaster on several levels. Here we have a religious insitution, the Roman Catholic Church, which seeks to serve as a voice of morality for the world. This mission is playing out in the following way: If you are a bishop or priest and have raped a child, then you will be reassigned after a slap on the wrist. You certainly should not be excommunicated, let alone be handed over to the legal authorities. However, if you recommend abortion to save the life of the mother, you’re out of here… anathema… don’t let the door hit you on the butt on your way out.
Never mind the fact that the intent was to save the life of the mother…
Who the hell are these people and why are they masquarading as the Body of Christ???
