So the Pope is supposed to talk about moral issues and stay out of political issues, so asshole Republicans (arguably redundant, but whatever) can politicize the non-political moral but political ::head explodes::

They excommunicate women for getting divorced and having abortions. Why not idiots for brainfarting?

And the Catholic church also debated whether or not women even have souls. Women won by a very narrow margin. This was at the mtg in Nicea around 325 A.D. True story.

No they still have excommunication for lay Catholics last I heard. I went to Catholic school and John Kerry was threatened with excommunication when he refused to back anti-abortion movement. This was done by Poop Benedict. He was a Hitler Youth who advocates for sanctity of life. WTF??

I thought they were all Christians in Iowa. How did they manage to elect a follower of the Whore of Rome? Or is it Babylon - I just can't keep this stuff straight, but I do know that Catholics and Mormons are really Christians.
