Phoenix Catholic hospital defends abortion that took place there; bishop warns of excommunication
May 17, 2010
*** begin quote ***
In late 2009, an abortion took place at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix after a hospital ethics committee deemed the abortion necessary to save the life of the mother. Sister Margaret Mary McBride, the hospital’s vice president of mission integration, was a member of the committee that made the decision and has since been assigned new duties.

[JR: Wasn’t there and don’t know the facts, but why should that stop me from butting in. Tragic situation. Sounds like people were really trying to do the right thing. I don’t like “automatic excommunication”. All I would point out to the good bishop is perhaps he might aom some ire at the CINO politicians like Pelosi, Biden, and the late Ted Kennedy. How about handing out some of those “automatic excommunications” for them because of their roles? Just a modest question. You can surmise your own answers as to why not. Argh!]

Why is it that an abortion to save a woman’s life is worthy of excommunication, but not starting a war that kills 100,000 people? Odd religion.
I don’t understand the “tolerance” shown to politicians, bureaucrats, and those who claim to be in your flock. Wolf in Sheep’s clothing? It adulterates the brand and confuses the message. imho.
