...if the Church did in fact excommunicate her and then turned around later and ''annulled'' it (according to your own source). And they did so only because they got heat from the president of the country. So they turn around and used the justification for reversing their own archaic beliefs (this one time) for the very same reasons they claim they won't approve abortion for anyone else -- because the life of the 9-year old would have been at risk if she carried twin babies to term.

Please stop making excuses for these worthless people, will you? Thanking you in advance.
