Question: Are Catholics who Support Black Lives Matter Excommunicated?

Whilst neither Mr Gray nor I are canonists, I see no other way to read Pope Pius XII's Decree Against Communism, confirmed in 1959 by John XXIII.

From David L. Gray

Answer: They most likely are! Why? It is as simple as this, the three women who started the hashtag and mantra #BlackLivesMatter are the same women who founded the organization ‘Black Lives Matter’. Moreover, the women who started both the hashtag/mantra and the organization are self-declared communists, and the principles they gave to their organization (Black Lives Matter) are communistic.
Since 1949 Catholics have been forbidden from joining communist parties or giving any support to communist voices and publications. Therefore, Catholics who positively promote the organization or hashtag/mantra Black Lives Matter/BlackLivesMatter/BLM are excommunicated and are unworthy to receive Holy Communion.
One may argue although ‘Black Lives Matter’ does expose communist principles, they are not a political party in the traditional sense; therefore, part one of the ban does not apply to them. I would argue against that, but even if that is true, part two of the ban remains in place; that Catholics are not only forbidden from joining ‘Black Lives Matter’, but neither they promote any of their material, including their hashtag and mantra, because it espouses communist principles.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
