Were you once Catholic? Unless you were the anathemas don’t apply to you. You knew that right?

Dr. E.: “When the anathemas of Trent are rescinded, we can all talk about our “moral equity” in the eyes of the RCC.”

Vlad: "Were you once Catholic? Unless you were the anathemas don’t apply to you. You knew that right?"

Why don't they apply? Trent was convened because of Protestantism, and the anathema canons all start with "If ANYONE". I mean, wouldn't spiritual cursing fall under that "always and everywhere believed" thing? Are you saying if I held my current beliefs 100 years ago I would be cursed to hell by your church, but today I am not?

(And I know that at the time of Trent, all I had to do to have my cursing to hell removed was to convert to Catholicism. IOW, "convert or die". Hmmmm. :)
