A link to the thread would be nice, but I think, after reflection, I was wrong. My bigger beef now would be hypocrisy, but that is nothing new.
Cool. Everyone has their bad days.

Not the way some of them see it. They would call abortion murder because it targets an innocent person, one who has not and can not have done anything wrong, while a convicted mass murderer is not an innocent, and the whole game changes.The 'Evangelical Right Wingers' who say 'abortion is murder', but yell for the death penalty really have a serious problem of consistency.
John Paul II had a chat with Bush re: the Iraq War.
If the RCC had started excommunicating people or putting the U.S. under interdict, wouldn't you consider that un-democratic?
(I remember you said if the RCC had put the U.S. under interdict re: abortion, it would call into question the compatibility of Catholicism and democracy.)
