Excommunicate PNoy, then might as well excommunicate everybody!

Just sharing my opinion. Anyways, the Catholic church has an official teaching that a person with mortal sin is technically an excommunicated Catholic, they are still Catholics but they are not allowed to receive communion. IF Pnoy gets officially excommunicated then he is no different with any Catholic that is in a state of mortal sin, he is just not allowed to receive communion but he is still officially a Catholic. Excommunication is easily lifted when one confesses his sins in the Sacrament of reconciliation. So, to directly address the topic, every Catholic in a state of mortal sin IS an excommunicated Catholic, furthermore every non-catholic Trinity believing Christian, whether Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican, Born-again, they are all excommunicated Catholics too.

why cant the catholic church accept the fact that pnoy is not for Catholics alone.to whatever stand you maybe in its whats best for everyone should prevail, this is just cheap..a desperate way to have a strong hold of control... "love your enemies,,,,"now they are excommunicating....it makes them seem hypocrites..its not with the church,,its with the people that runs it,,,

If you will remember, the Roman church excommunicated Jackie O. because she married a divorced man. The Roman church chooses to punish those who set examples, (but continued to hid those pedophile priests.)

well this is not the 17 century excommunicating somebody is not as powerful as before.

"With great powers come great responsibility"...this saying don't apply only to spiderman but to the catholic church as well. It's about time it realizes that Filipinos are not indios anymore. It sure is a blunder, but then, that comment could have come from someone in the catholic church but is not an official statement of the whole catholic church. Maybe it was just an temporary effect of the klieglights. That ligt really does funny things to people, and i thought it only affects politicians.

When I heard this on the news, I thought that the church is going too far in meddling with politics and governance here in the Philippines. Religion is supposed to be guiding and advising the leaders of a government, not throw them out if they don't have the same views on what would be for the best interest of the country's citizens. The church claimed that they didn't threaten PNoy with excommunication though. Personally, yeah they have the power to excommunicate those who do not abide and respect the teachings of the catholic church here in the Philippines. But to use it on the highest ranking official here in the country who only has good intentions is going too far. If PNoy is supporting the RH bill, which would give people the 'CHOICE' in what to do with their reproductive health, isn't that about free will? If they're prohibiting people have a choice in their lives, then they're saying that, yes you have the most important gift God has ever given mankind, which is free will, but of course there are things that you can't do! That's really crazy. It's up to people how they want to use their free will and for them to deal with its consequences. I think it's the church's role to guide and advise the people to use their free will wisely, not implement rules that would inhibit people from using them.
