Excommunications follow abortion: update

This whole story has me shaking with intense rage.

Here are a few selection of quotes from the Archbishop Gomes Sobrinho:

On why the paedophile father was not excommunicated:

"He commited an extremely serious crime. But that crime, according to canon law, is not punished with automatic excommunication. Abortion is even more serious."

"God'a law is above whatever human law. So when a human law is contrary to God's law, this human law has no value."

Yes, who needs democratically built laws, build slowly over centuries based on our shared human experienes and by learning from the mistake of our species. Laws that actually do attempt to take human empathy, compassion and justice into account. Sure they have a long way to go but why even bother? Let us all revert back to a book written by bronze age peasants, for whom a wheelbarrow was future technology, and declare that book above everything else.

These people cannot provide a first hand evidence that this God entity even exists but can read it's mind and speak for it and declare that the junk they spew is above all human law.

The only silver lining in this story is that the excommunication is actually liberation for these people. They deserve to be freed from this fascist, primitive organization while the paedophile father deserves to rot in it.

Excommunications follow child-rape and abortion

It seems that I am living in a time warp. 

The German press today reported the case of a 9 year old Brazilian girl that was raped by her stepfather. The girl was pregnant with twins and the mother, with the support of the medical advisers, arranged an abortion.

What does the local Archbishop do? He orders excommunication of the girl's mother and the doctors involved!

BBC Link.

Maybe the archbishop is bestowing the greatest gift of all by releasing these individuals from a doctrine of medieval beliefs that no longer has a place in a modern civilized society.

It gets better. The Vatican defends Brazil excommunication.

For me there is no difference between Mullah Omar and the Pope. We drop bomb on one and give money to the other.
