There was no church from which to be "excommunicated " when these words were penned

Of course there was.

However, the term took on a specific, technical meaning long after St. Paul wrote. By Tridentine times, there was a formal liturgy for an "anathema". Ever heard the phrase, "bell, book, and candle"?

They knew EXACTLY what they were writing and so do we.

In other words, "Campion, you've been a Catholic since you were six weeks old, and a Catholic apologist for the last twelve years. You've read Ott, and you've read the letter of the Holy Office in Re Father Feeney, but that doesn't matter, because I know what Trent meant, and you don't."

Thanks for your confidence in me. Happily, I'm quite confident that I know my religion better than you do, but I'm sorry that Protestants so frequently feel compelled to misrepresent it to score points.

I have read the scripture, the very word of God and the church chose that word very carefully, they wished luther in hell. But when those men look around they will not see him there
