What does it take for someone to be excommunicated from the Catholic church?
from the net sifter:
Excommunication from the Catholic Church is a severe penalty usually incurred automatically (latae sententiae) for grave offenses, including apostasy, heresy, schism, desecration of the Eucharist, procuring an abortion, or physical attack on the Pope. It requires full knowledge and deliberate consent, resulting in immediate separation from sacramental life.

“When the Pope says that God is never on the side of people who wield the sword, there is more than a 1,000-year tradition of just war theory,” Vance continued. “We can, of course, have disagreements about whether this or that conflict is just.”
"If you're going to opine on matters of theology, you've got to be careful, you've got to be sure it's anchored in the truth and that's one of the things that I try to do and that's certainly something I would expect from the clergy," Vance added.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/...Of course, the regime wants to make Shinyland a Protestant, fundy, whack, theocracy, so the more war it can stir up with the Catholic church, may benefit it's agenda.
