A letter from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith posted on defide.com and sent to an inquiring Canon lawyer, Marc Balestrieri, has declared that it is an automatic excommunication for any Catholic to publicly support the pro-choice position. This includes a Catholic politician voting for a pro-choice law or any layman speaking publicly in favor of the pro-choice position. Now the process has been started against several politicians including John Kerry, according to The Washington Times and the New York Times. Should be an interesting next few weeks. FYI, you need Acrobat Reader to view the letter.
