And Now, A Public Service Announcement

This is from the Papal Bull,  Effraenatam, written in 1588 by Pope Sixtus V ( I wonder if theer will ever be a Pope Sixtus the Sixth?). It excommunicated anyone directly involved with abortion, and asked civil authorities to punish them severely.

Who will not condemn to a most grave punishment the impiety of him… who has deprived children of life before they could naturally see light or could be protected by maternal body from ferocious cruelty? Who will not abhor the cruelty and unrestrained debauchery of impious men who have arrived into such a state of mind that they procure poisons in order to extinguish the conceived fetuses within the viscera, and pour them out, trying to provoke by a nefarious crime a violent and untimely death and killing of their progeny?  Finally who will not condemn to a most grave punishment the crimes of those who with poisons, potions and evil actions sterilize women or impede that they conceive or give birth by pernicious medicines and drugs?
We are willing to exterminate in our times also this evil as much as a We can by the strength given to Us by the Lord….

 Got that, fellow Catholics?
