"Do you have the authority to excommunicate me from that Church? Is God bound by YOUR decision to disfellowship me because I do not adhere to some non-essential doctrine that was not part of the Early Church?"

You are free to be wrong as you want to be, you just can't do and remain in communion with or as a member of the Latin Rite Church.

Pax Vobiscum

That's cool brother. But I'm not wrong. I'm just a member of Christ's body of believers. I don't rely upon some Latin rite to secure my place in Christ's Church. Your salvation, like mine, is conditioned only on our being accepted by God and not on some ancient ritual or adherence to some non-essential dogma. My salvation is solely in the hands of Christ, the only priest I need. The Church cannot save me. Only Christ can.

in that sense we are all in the same boat. Thank God the boat is being piloted by Christ

Have a safe voyage, brother.
