Isn't that where mortal men tell God who He's allowed to talk to?

Your post essentially reads: "Wideawake, I have no idea what the word 'excommunication' means. Can you explain it to me?"

Well, Lurker, I'd be happy to.

Excommunication means that Church recognizes that one of its members has committed a sin of the kind that merits the sinner's exclusion from the sacraments it administers.

Oh gee, thanks.

So in other words as far as God is concerned, it doesn't mean squat.

Thanks for clearing that up.
