why was he excommunicated ? and isn't he in charge of the church JI7 Mar 2014 #4

I imagine, in his old age, he became vulnerable to the vultures he had spawned and cultivated. (nt) Heidi Mar 2014 #7

The part I don't get is "the church" preventing members who left or were kicked out from Thor_MN Mar 2014 #15
