Sorry, but real life superceeds your lying catholic websites!
My maternal grandfather was an Italian immigrant from Pioppo that was excommunicated specifically for having a Bible in his posession.
It turned out to be a wonderful blessing, as it resulted in his finding a real church that preached and lived by the word of God, rather than the satanic traditions of the catholic church.
The cascading effect was that his entire family (three brothers, Mother, wife, inlaws, and all 47 of their children) finding Yeshua.
Excommunication fron the RCC means eternal life for most.
Lucifer enjoys eternal life....probably with some excommunicated Catholics...

What version/ translation did he have and what was he doing with it. There is more to this story than you are telling.
That is a lie. Nobody in the history of the world was ever excommunicated for that reason.
