CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Rick Stika of Knoxville, Tennessee, said on his Twitter account that he would excommunicate a governor who supported legislation similar to the bill recently enacted in New York, and he “might do it for any Catholic legislator under my jurisdiction who voted for the bill.” The bishop’s Twitter remark appeared as the Washington Post carried an account of Catholics demanding the excommunication of New York’s Governor Cuomo.

    Imagine if Bishops had excommunicated every politician who supported pro-death legislation from 1973 and onward... Would the Church be in this mess she is now? Would America be in the mess it is now? O God, please give us faithful clergy!
