Reply #7: I could understand the church's position

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

if the fellow were giving last rites, communion, etc, as a Roman Catholic. But he's not-he's been out of the church since 1999. Now if he tried to get a position back at a RC church or did any of the things I mentioned as a RC, I could see their concern. But that's not what he's doing. This seems to be a bit of overkill, imho. And since he's comfortable with his new church, I don't think excommunication or heresy is going to bother him all that much-might even be seen as a mark of honor among his new congregation.
