I wonder whether the Pope can excommunicate some of the government officials who have enabled this (Original Post) diva77 Apr 2020 OP

If the Pope was going to do that he would probably start in Italy and Spain. former9thward Apr 2020 #4

So, if they get into the business of excommunicating people for political reasons, this would be a strange thing for them to start over.

They never got too excited over things like war, either.
