Excommunication has
always been the greatest weapon in the Catholic Church’s arsenal, and it
has taken down some very big names. But does it mean what you think?
Everyone
knows that the strictest penalty in the Catholic Church is
excommunication. In contemporary conversations it is billed as the
ultimate harsh punishment for sinners and heretics. Of course heretical
groups and monarchs who supported them, like Elizabeth I, were regularly
forced out of the church. But the truth is that excommunication isn’t
just for heretics.
