does excommunication mean you are no longer Catholic? random thoughts Send a noteboard - 06/09/2010 08:52:58 PM
I thought it just meant you could not take part in any of the sacraments. Yo don't suddenly become a protestant simply because you have been excommunicated.

As for the whole gays and religion issue I could of sworn we just had the conversation.

Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing - 06/09/2010 08:02:50 PM 1083 Views
I never infered that that was the case. - 06/09/2010 08:24:30 PM 782 Views
