Recently, Mexican, Catholic clergy have been excommunicating Mexican politicians who vote in favor of abortion rights, and Benedict supports them. He said, "Yes, this excommunication was not an arbitrary one but is allowed by Canon law which says that the killing of an innocent child is incompatible with receiving communion, which is receiving the body of Christ…They (Mexican Church leaders) did nothing new, surprising or arbitrary. They simply announced publicly what is contained in the law of the Church...which expresses our appreciation for life and that human individuality, human personality is present from the first moment (of life)," and that supporting abortion rights was directly against Catholic dogma. So, I ask, why don't we see more protestant pastors willing to grow balls like this? Too many are allowing their churches to be blown to the four winds of modern culture. There's so many alleged "Christians" walking around now with so many beliefs contradictory to the Bible that explaining that I'm a Christian, or even an evangelical, no longer has any impact and tells the person nothing about my beliefs. I want to see more church leaders reign in this age of culturally adapted Christianity, which abandons the teaching of the Bible in favor of something more PC.
