[E. Cartman]

Come on, the maximum discipline possible to a Catholic layperson is to deny them the sacraments. That's just what this pastor did.

Well, I guess the same sort of person who'd fear a Shaman's curse or a voodoo priest's hoodoo might tremble in terror at the thought of a clergyman's interdict, but it all remains, nonetheless, so medieval.

"Well, I guess the same sort of person who'd fear a Shaman's curse or a voodoo priest's hoodoo...."

This is the second such dumbass comment you made in this thread. It clearly places you outside the communion of Catholics, a group of like minded people who accept and believe in the teachings of the Church. So, as they would say in a legal context, what you think doesn't really matter because you "lack standing'.

[Campion]

If they put the sacraments on the same level as a “voodoo curse,” they aren’t Catholics and don’t belong in a Catholic Church in the first place ... so your comment is completely irrelevant.

"... but it all remains, nonetheless, so medieval."

Medieval? Nonsense. It goes back to the Bronze Age; heck, it goes back to the dawn of humanity.

But don't be a temporally narrow-minded or chronologically provincial. What matters is not "Is it old?" or "Is it new?" but "Is it true?"

Denying God diminishes you, not Him.
