I read this on Topix today, and I'm still shaking my head at the stupidity of some factions of so-called "Christianity"...
Brazil is the world’s most populous Catholic country and The Roman Catholic Church welds a lot of power in here…
But in Brazil it is starting to look to many that the Roman Catholic Church in this country really needs to start getting the log out of it own eye before it gets the mote out of everyone else’s… And they need to do some cleaning of their house … before Brazilians come burn that house down for them…
This month the Archbishop of Recife, Jose Cardoso Sobrinho, excommunicated a mother who gave her permission to doctors to perform an abortion on her daughter after the nine-year-old girl got pregnant as the result of being raped by her stepfather.
Doctors believed that the nine-year-old was too small to have twins and that going ahead with the birth would have put her life in danger.
The local Catholic hierarchy tried to stop the procedure anyway (which is allowed in Brazil only in cases of rape or to save the life of the mother), but when it failed to do so, the local archbishop decided to excommunicate the girl’s mother and the doctors.
However, the archbishop didn’t excommunicate the stepfather who is in jail now.
Archbishop Sobrinho defended his action and when asked why he did not excommunicate the 23-year-old stepfather, Sobrinho said: “He committed an extremely serious crime. But that crime, according to canon law, is not punished with automatic excommunication.
And the Catholic Church tells me as a lesbian I am immoral?
Helloooo… did these palhaços miss the part that said a nine year old child was RAPED and would DIE?

Well, sounds like he's toeing the line set forth by The Holy See, that pompous ass. I can't believe this - if it were my child I would have done the same. Makes sense - take away the people's place of solace in the time they need it most.
