Barcelona Priest, Manuel Pousa, to be Formally Excommunicated

Sometimes heretics get what they deserve and what the good of the Church demands. Fr. Manuel Pousa bragged about paying for abortions and blessing homosexual unions. He was automatically excommunicated when he abetted the abortion. But now the bishop will make it official -- finally!

Here's an excerpt from the LifeSiteNews article on this rogue shepherd:

Fr. Manuel Pousa first acknowledged he had paid for abortions in 2008. While his statements were reported widely in the Catholic press, Cardinal Sistach did not act against the priest at the time, instead calling him into his office for a private conversation.
However, the cardinal has decided to act in the face of new statements made by Pousa in a book recently published about the priest, “Manel Pousa: Closer to earth than to heaven.”

In the book Pousa admits to having paid for an abortion, as well as having blessed homosexual unions, including a union between a female prison guard and an inmate. He also rejects the obligation of clerical celibacy, supports the ordination of priestesses, and admits to having a girlfriend - with whom he claims to maintain a celibate relationship.

The priest's excommunication is overdue, but it seems unlikely that it will bring about a change of heart. Some demons are only driven out by prayer and fasting. So please offer your Lenten fast for this false shepherd who has scandalized so many.
