ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE (Reuters) - Pope Benedict on Wednesday warned Catholic politicians they risked excommunication from the Church and should not receive communion if they support abortion.

It's about time that all politicians that claim to be christian start explaining their non-christian beliefs. If they believe something different than the Catholic Church, different than the Baptist Church, or whichever church that's fine, then go be a part of some other denomination that matches what you do believe in.

Just stop knowingly violating major tenents of the religion you claim to be a part of and pretending that its ok because "Jesus taught us to forgive". Sure he did, but he did not want us to sin whenever we want, or approve of others sinning whenever they want. Sure I know some of you liberals are having a spasm right now reading this, let's hear your bashing of me, but after all, you always say that you support the first amendment. Both Kulongoski and Gregoire claim to be Catholic, and believe in the Catholic Church and its teachings. So lets see them start acting according to their faith in their policy, or else disclaim the faith and pick up Budism, Methodist or some other religion that lets you pick the rules.
