You would still be Catholic you just would be a Catholic who is going to hell.


No you wouldn't. No church would take you, no Host given. And, according to our beliefs, God would know of and approve of your excommunication. So no, you wouldn't be a "Catholic going to Hell". You'd be some guy going to Hell.

Um... no? One can be excommunicated for any number of things. *NM* - 05/09/2010 08:22:29 PM 360 Views
yeah back in the time when there was no electricity *NM* - 05/09/2010 08:25:17 PM 403 Views

Inaction, like, for example, not saving lives where you could have is also grounds for expulsion. - 06/09/2010 06:35:31 PM 793 Views
Hmm, but I think that's a different type of inaction than the kind he's discussing - 06/09/2010 08:02:50 PM 1111 Views
I never infered that that was the case. - 06/09/2010 08:24:30 PM 809 Views
