How to get excommunicated from the catholic church

A quick response to JustAnotherMutant... about how I attempted to get excommuncated from the catholic church. In this video, I read aloud from a letter I sent my old parish and their response. The letters can be found in my blog here:

Here is the list of excommunicable offenses:
-- using violent force against the pope,
-- committing a sacrilege such as throwing away a consecrated host,
-- absolving a person with whom one has committed a sin against the six commandment,
-- consecrating a bishop without a pontifical mandate,
-- directly violating the seal of confession and
-- formal apostasy, heresy or schism.

ETA: yes, according to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3zwpS5JhnQ&feature=related -- procurement of an abortion is the last thing on that list. LOL It's a great video, you should watch it!

So, your entire purpose was essentially to attempt to provoke the Catholic Church into anger against you? Seems rather......pointless don't you think? Especially if your entire purpose of choice is to harm, condemn, or damage the image of the Church. After all, the Catholic Church and Christianity teach well not to condemn those around us. And, you are trying to provoke this mindset? That would be like attempting to infuriate Buddha, it simply won't happen. We forgive after all.

@TheArmydude050290 no, the purpose was to get my name off the 'roster' so that the church will stop hyper inflating the numbers. If the millions of worldwide catholics who don't practice did this, you would see there aren't as many as the church thinks there are. You can't make an institution 'angry'. The church is not a person. I wanted my name off the list, pure and simple. It would be like if your parents had your name on an atheist list and it was there for life til you removed it.

[thejoeybambino]

are you still a catholic?

[montyollie]

@thejoeybambino Hell no! Well, maybe TECHNICALLY, as I haven't yet formally renounced nor have I been excommunicated. Hmmm. I hate that religion with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns, though.

I can put "puzzles" or "riddles" together really good to where I could become an engineer or designer if I wanted to.

People have a hard time believeing this I guess. Not my fault. Next time (wont be one), "PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL".

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

forefathers in usa were never christians. They were masons. Joe Smith was part of that crap too and is a mason but hes a christian part of the mormon movement "awakening" back then?

Yes I saw right through this. I trust the Catholic Church in Europe more than the masons.

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

If THEY read this (Europe). I woudlnt join the Catholic church in EU unless they FORCED me too and someone talked to me in person about "stuff". I explained this out loud reasons why I wouldnt join.

I wont be part of it but the Church (1st Church/ HOLY "eye" aka Holy See) will support me?

If I hate "builders" and they do too. I can take a wild guess why they hate them too. Whatever... I will learn to live with those scumbags too.

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

You got excommunicated? LOL

I hate to say it, Catholic church is no different from military in a way (TEMPLARs). If you got kicked out of the catholic church in usa. I really dont care. Not going to explain this.

you my friend need help and guidance to relize the error of your actions. you dont believe me now but later you will believe me

@CynthiaToni Update. Canon Law was amended (2010) to remove any reference to voluntarily defecting from the Catholic Church. Once Baptized the Church looks over your Soul and won't abdicate the responsibility. You can send letters and applications to the Church to defect. They'll be duly filed.

It's called 'marketing' I guess even the Catholic Church can be accused of it! lol! McDonald's advertised "30 billion served" --- "oohhh, I'm missing out on something good! I bet rush over to McDonald's and have a Big Mac". Not. But, I haven't bothered to write th President of McDonald's and tell him/her not to include me in any fictitious count.

[Herecomeoleflattop]

I know! give the pastor/preacher/clergyman a BJ...wait...I'm told that doesn't work either.

Sorry...back to your heated debate....

[Hkepfer]

@amoxtlacatl Well, I might be Forrest Gump, but if person is Heretic, they cannot be in church.

So again person chooses to be heretical -in fact heresy means choice and orthodoxy means the one straight path. Does the church have strange rules?

Yes: it is not a democracy & people can act on choice to leave.

Want women priest, there are places that see that are OK for such.

Want to think death penalty is OK, there are places that OK for such.

The Catholic Church is no longer in hegemony.

@Hkepfer

How about the times when it was not a choice?

How about the times when heretics would be burned?
