Paragraph 1869 [Complicity]
[S]in makes men accomplices of one another and causes concupiscence, violence, and injustice to reign among them. Sins give rise to social situations and institutions that are contrary to the divine goodness. “Structures of sin” are the expression and effect of personal sins. They lead their victims to do evil in their turn. In an analogous sense, they constitute a “social sin.” Paragraph 2272 [Abortion] Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. “A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae,” “by the very commission of the offense,” and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society. Catechism of the Catholic Church (any edition) procure (verb) Cambridge Dictionary example: Low interest rates support bonds by making it cheaper for investors to procure funds and invest in fixed-income securities. To procure is to give or obtain funds. One accompanies the other. Planned Parenthood affiliates received about $148 million in federal grants from 2019 through 2021. https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-24-106215 How is that possible? Everyone knows women go there for an abortion, not health services. You go to an emergency room doctor, not Planned Parenthood, if a sewing machine needle has penetrated your finger or you've been raped. I've sat with three girls in the emergency room. Because Joe Biden formally cooperates in abortion, he is excommunicated latae sententiae. His bishop, Wilton Gregory, has not informed him and has refused to do anything. His superior, Jorge Bergoglio, has not ordered Wilton to do anything. Have they twisted some canonical law to excuse themselves? All three are complicit. Frank Pavone Remember Father Frank Pavone, the prominent, outspoken pro-life priest? He was canceled and is still canceled. That means his priestly faculties were taken away. I just googled him, and the answer was that he was a former priest. How stupid! Once a priest, always a priest. It's a sacrament and leaves an indelible mark. Removing his faculties was pure evil. I have not heard one bishop say out loud what I have said. Many American Catholics ignore what has happened. And that describes the state of the Catholic Church, one cruelty after another after another after another. When it comes to praying for the pope at Mass, I have a mental reservation. I pray for A pope, not one who is schismatic and disloyal. Forget about diverting attention to someone else. It is also a moral injunction that one vote for the lesser of two evils.

Father Frank Pavone is one of the “cancelled” priests I specifically pray for. I was glad to see him mentioned. I watched a YT podcast yesterday of a good priest who stated he was about to be cancelled by YT. I wonder how many of the current Catholic priests and laymen on YT will be cancelled because of the new anti semitism bill passed by Congress?

Laura: a group I belong to on Discord made mention of that lamentable law.
