Poor Raymond Burke, a prince of the Church, who everyone tells me is a canon lawyer, doesn’t seem to know his canon law. He seems to think Joe Biden is an “apostate” who can be excommunicated over being pro-choice. (That is to say, Mr. Biden thinks that abortion should be legal, not necessarily that abortion is good.) I’m afraid both claims are false, and we can dispatch with both of them quickly. On the latter point, canon law expressly lays out what a Catholic may be excommunicated for, and disagreeing with the Church’s teaching about legal abortion is not one of them.
Anti-Abortion Fetishist Cardinal Burke says President Biden is an “apostate.”
