...um, no. I'm not sure where you're getting that from, but it's completely wrong. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 06/09/2010 01:06:49 AM
Not only can a person be excommunicated for performing any number of actions, some actions are considered so severe by the church that a person who does one is automatically excommunicated.

I'm really confused as to why you think excommunication just died out or something; there's really no reason to believe that, given the huge controversies over some modern excommunications.

There is a difference in the degree of the transgressions and the public nature of them as well. Cannoli - 05/09/2010 02:30:06 AM 872 Views
agreed. There may be some hypocrisy in the church employment practices... LadyLorraine - 05/09/2010 02:49:44 AM 831 Views
That's the crux of it. Joel - 07/09/2010 11:24:44 AM 972 Views

She chose to work for a Catholic institution. Dragonsoul - 05/09/2010 05:54:23 PM 778 Views
what a stupid thing to say Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 07:38:16 PM 918 Views
Um... no? One can be excommunicated for any number of things. *NM* Ghavrel - 05/09/2010 08:22:29 PM 313 Views
yeah back in the time when there was no electricity *NM* Yunalesca - 05/09/2010 08:25:17 PM 355 Views
...um, no. I'm not sure where you're getting that from, but it's completely wrong. Ghavrel - 06/09/2010 01:06:49 AM 820 Views
You can't be excommunicated for being gay Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:51:21 AM 903 Views
No one here said you could. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 03:00:07 AM 834 Views
I am not disagreeing with that, excommunications do happen Roland00 - 06/09/2010 03:07:57 AM 916 Views
This is a classic example of me inadvertently coming to complete agreement with the Vatican. Joel - 07/09/2010 12:05:52 PM 876 Views
Wow! What an underwhelming argument. everynametaken - 06/09/2010 04:24:32 AM 881 Views
Remember that NC Baptist church kicking out non-Bush supporters in '04? Joel - 07/09/2010 11:46:18 AM 959 Views
Actually, the Pope has the right to say "sorry, you're not a Catholic anymore". Dragonsoul - 05/09/2010 08:43:34 PM 1024 Views
See above post Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:52:25 AM 761 Views
What? Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 02:56:59 AM 772 Views
Nope Roland00 - 06/09/2010 03:03:48 AM 801 Views
Inaction, like, for example, not saving lives where you could have is also grounds for expulsion. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 06:35:31 PM 681 Views
Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 08:02:50 PM 999 Views
I never infered that that was the case. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 08:24:30 PM 698 Views
mmm, but your example isn't inaction ALONE LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 08:46:56 PM 800 Views
Hmm interesting question. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 10:35:19 PM 884 Views
is excommunication about "use" though? LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 10:36:55 PM 919 Views
I don't know. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:47:42 AM 760 Views
yah, I'd agree with that LadyLorraine - 07/09/2010 11:59:01 AM 918 Views
Well thank god you aren't the pope Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:29:00 AM 882 Views
I would say the same for you. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:50:55 AM 827 Views
Dismas is a Saint? Joel - 07/09/2010 12:08:45 PM 901 Views
It's pretty hard to argue with that one. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/09/2010 04:18:41 AM 293 Views
Yeah, was just surprised they'd made it official is all. Joel - 08/09/2010 04:36:28 AM 867 Views
You are purposefully trying to split hairs Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:15:08 AM 806 Views
Calling me an idiot... Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:52:39 AM 817 Views
My turn to split hairs: Joel - 07/09/2010 12:10:33 PM 809 Views
does excommunication mean you are no longer Catholic? random thoughts - 06/09/2010 08:52:58 PM 697 Views
i'm pretty sure we have this conversation on a weekly basis. *NM* LadyLorraine - 06/09/2010 09:05:33 PM 333 Views
Yeah. Dragonsoul - 06/09/2010 10:34:10 PM 677 Views
is being Catholic a belief system or a club? random thoughts - 06/09/2010 11:03:00 PM 787 Views
Depends on who you ask Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:12:23 AM 936 Views
It's both. Dragonsoul - 07/09/2010 05:54:13 AM 883 Views
I'm unsure about that. It doesn't invalidate baptism. Ghavrel - 07/09/2010 08:23:33 AM 761 Views
I thought conformation is what made you a member of the church *NM* random thoughts - 07/09/2010 06:42:36 PM 303 Views
You're correct. Dragonsoul - 08/09/2010 02:33:45 AM 796 Views
Either way, it's a sacramental character, and so my point stands. You can't erase the seal of either *NM* Ghavrel - 08/09/2010 04:18:12 AM 309 Views
Hey I haven't brought up the last two times Roland00 - 07/09/2010 03:30:18 AM 780 Views
My god people that cheat or divorce shouldn't be Catholic Roland00 - 06/09/2010 02:26:23 AM 696 Views
I'm inclined to agree. Joel - 07/09/2010 11:31:59 AM 759 Views
