does the catholic church excommunicate you for an abortion or will the church forgive you?

Answer 1

Both.

A completed abortion results in an automatic excommunication. This is your decision to leave the Church, not the Church's decision to kick you out.

However the Church will welcome you back when you are ready to admit the sin with contrition. Just talk to a priest.

The point of excommunication is the correction and redemption of the excommunicated.

Remember excommunication does not make you a non-Christian. You are still a baptized Christian.

With love and prayers in Christ.

Answer 2

first, some house keeping.,

1. The Church does not excommunicate people. People excommunicate themselves through their actions. Excommunication only means you cannot receive the Eucharist. It is a medicinal penalty- designed to help people correct their relationship with God.

2. The Church does not forgive. God forgives. He does iot THROUGH the ministry of the priest, but it is GOD who forgives.

Now- to answer your question, which I believe you really mean to be: "If I have an abortion, am I excommunicated or can I be forgiven?"

Anyone who HAS and abortion, PERFORMS and abortion, or COOPERATES in an abortion ( driving the girl, paying, assisting the surgery) excommunicates themselves. Automatically.

All sins can be forgiven- except for the sin of believing your sins are too great for God to forgive. If you truly are sorry for your part in the abortion, go to a priest and ask for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. You will receive God's mercy and peace.

If you are still suffering after Reconciliation, ask for a referal to a Rachel's Vineyard ministry.

Answer 3

abortion carries an automatic excommunication; that means that everyone who has, performs, or assists at an abortion is automatically excommunicated whether it is publicly known or not. God forgives anyone who sincerely repents; the Church will give absolution to any Catholic who sincerely repents and seeks this reconciliation through the ministry of the Church.
So yes, and yes.

Answer 4

One can be excommunicated from the Church for getting an abortion. However, should the woman repent of that sin, she can be welcomed bakc into the Church.

Answer 5

EXCOMMUNICATION - An ecclesiastical censure through which one is nearly excluded from communion with the honest. that is likewise called anathema, noticeably even if that is inflicted with formal solemnities on persons notoriously obstinate to reconciliation. some excommunicated human beings are vitandi (to be prevented), others tolerati (tolerate). no one is vitandus till that human being has been publicly excommunicated through call through the Holy See, and that is expressly said that the guy is "to be prevented," all people who lays violent palms on the Pope is immediately vitandus. mainly, the outcomes of excommunication influence the guy's accurate to get carry of the sacraments, or Christian burial, till the guy repents and is reconciled with the Church. to ensure that an excommunication to take effect, the guy might want to were objectively to blame of the crime charged. (Etym. Latin ex-, from + communicare, to communicate: excommunicatio, exclusion from an section.)

Answer 6

Abortion is an excommunicatable offense. Any person who has had an abortion, or helped someone get one, like helped pay for it, or gave someone a ride, or gave advice telling them to get one, can be excommunicated.

Forgiveness. Yes, there is no sin that can't be forgiven. That person would need to speak with a priest. God's mercy is greater than any sin.

God bless.
