They try to translate her surname Heizer as "heater" (I think it may be originally a surname from an occupation, Fireman). That reminds me of Mark Twain struggling with a German sentence that seemed to mean "The lion ate the unfortunate fir tree" but it turned out that "Tannenbaum" was a man's name.

According to the German text, "The married couple Heizer do not recognize the proceedings and have refused to accept the final excommunication-document."

It appears that Frau Heizer is a big supporter of the ordination of women and getting rid of the ban on contraception, but "they are not regarded as radicals" and they are "shocked" at the decision.

Mark Twain wrote that if he were in charge of the German language: I would the verb so far forward put that one it without a telescope could see.
