Uhm... i would say this is evil if the family was forced to leave the country. I think them not being Roman Catholics according to the Pope, who is literally a glorified priest (do correct me if this is wrong, idk what his purpose is besides being... the Pope?).
The rapist ought to burn alive... no boil alive then have bacteria devour his flesh... but to be honest, being excommunicated from the CATHOLIC church aint evil... its productive for liberal religion!
Not really; but yeah, its fucked up what happend to the girl, but barely the end of the world the family and doctors aren't Catholic, even for them. I mean, where do they think they are; Italy?
You're a fucking idiot.
For starters, the Pope is the president of the largest organisation in the world and is the head of state for the wealthiest country in the world per capita. he creates decrees, reforms theology and is a source of spiritual guidance for millions of adherents throughout the world.
Secondly, excommunication is much worse for the family than simply leaving the church. Considering they probably believe in God and the afterlife, it means that they have effectively been banned from entry into heaven after they die, forcing them to spend eternity in purgatory or hell. In the meantime, they could well be ostracised from their heavily-Catholic community and possibly be on the receiving end for hate-crimes from over-zealous followers. The doctors who were excommunicated too, meaning that many Catholics will now refuse to see them, resulting in a steep loss of business.
Thirdly, just cos they have been kicked out of the Church, doesn't mean they are not Catholics.
Lastly, it is Brazil, not Italy, which has the world's largest popualtion of Catholics. Italy meanwhile does have a slightly larger proportion of the population that identifies as Catholic (both practising and non-practising) than Brazil, but considering the sharp and pervasive rise of secularism and agnostiscism in Western Europe, that will soon change.
