8/14/26 - Fr. Paul Born - Are Pro-Abortion Catholic Politicians Formally Excommunicated?

Fr. Paul Born currently serves as the Parochial Vicar at Mary, Queen of Martyrs Parish in Plymouth, Massachusetts. In Today's Show: ​​​​ The governor of Massachusetts just signed a bill legalizing abortion until birth. Since she is a self-proclaimed Catholic, will she be formally excommunicated? When may priests use the Eucharistic Prayers for various needs? I've heard that it's not to be used on Sunday. Can you please offer advice for someone living in chronic constant pain how to keep hope and not feel that God has left you behind? Father, countless Flock surveillance cameras have been placed all around the US to create “safer communities.” Many, including myself, believe it is instead creating a surveillance state where our privacy is being violated. Would it be wrong to block or obstruct the view of one of these cameras without damaging them? And more.
