It's almost as if the catholic church condones pedophilia.
So sad.

I will not 'neg', however, this is ONE parish in Brazil. This does not define the Catholic Church worldwide.
Wait....a parish priest has the power to excommunicate?
From what I have read & heard, this is a matter involving only the Brazilian church, there may be a bishop involved, but the Pope has spoken on the matter, as of the last article I saw.
Speaking for the Holy See, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re defended the action.[3]
Regarding his statement that excommunication had been incurred, Sobrinho stated:[4]
"The law of God is higher than any human laws. When a human law -- that is, a law enacted by human legislators -- is against the law of God, that law has no value. The adults who approved, who carried out this abortion have incurred excommunication."
If you are not a Catholic (as I am not), it is not our business. Shut up.
I'm afraid that excuse has been used a lot to look away from bad things, Jake.

"Excuse" is the not the word, and not one you are entitled to use in judgment. You have the right to protest, of course, but it is not your business, and I will do now what the RC church is doing now: ignoring your protest, in this thread.

I'm sure they are ignoring it....because they know so much better than we do. On the treatment of children...pedophiles....etc.
Christianity Today Liveblog: 9-Year-Old's Abortion Draws Catholic Censure in Brazil
Despite the Catholic Church's attempts to stop the procedure, a 9-year-old Brazilian girl whose stepfather allegedly sexually abused her had an abortion Wednesday after doctors warned that giving birth might result in death. Physicians at the hospital in the coastal town of Recife said the girl - 15 weeks pregnant with twins and weighing 80 pounds - could not give birth without putting her life at risk.
In response, on Thursday Jos? Cardoso Sobrinho, archbishop of Olinda and Recife, excommunicated the girl's mother, who authorized the abortion, and the doctors involved.
Oh and this gem
According to Globo, the stepfather is not being excommunicated. "He committed a serious crime, but . . . there are many other serious sins. Abortion is more serious," said Archbishop Sobrinho.
Nice
I honestly can't understand why they wouldn't excommunicate the step-father. It is pretty sickening that they wouldn't.Christianity Today Liveblog: 9-Year-Old's Abortion Draws Catholic Censure in Brazil

look on the bright side. Excommunication by the church means absolutely nothing to God so now this woman and her child can move on with life and find a more meaningful relationship with God outside all the paternal humanistic dogma the Catholic Church tries to impose. Church should worry more about the type of people they are attracting to ministry IE Pedo's and let this girls family deal with this tragedy. Did the church even offer to pay for healthcare to the girl to make sure she didn't die or suffer permmanent injury if she attempted to give birth? You'd think a church run by men would take HER LIFE into consideration and see to it she got the best of care if they are going to attempt to tell a female what to do. Right?
Hope they cut the dick off of the asshole who got her pregnant.

I would very much like to hear from some of those on the forum who usually sound like they are against abortion in any circumstance.
Would they expect a 9-year-old to carry twins to term?
