Major excommunication

If the distinction vitandus/toleratus is obsolete, there tills seems to be something called a "major excommunication". [1] the last lines. --90.236.141.65 (talk) 18:05, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The distinction is made in the Eastern Catholic Churches, not in the Latin Church. Perhaps someone else will continue the work I have begun on the differences. Esoglou (talk) 21:19, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possible details set aside, the Easterners call major excommunication what we call an excommunication and minor excommunication what we call an interdict (or, in the old law, a personal interdict).--131.159.0.2 (talk) 13:32, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Step 5

The Reformed churches section cites Jay E. Adams about "Step 5" while not explaining what is meant with it. The previous paragraph mentions only 3 steps. Bever (talk) 23:57, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Scientology?

This article should include the related practices of Scientology - eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disconnection_(Scientology), and declarations that dissenters or apostates are "Suppressive Persons".

Jehovah's Witnesses

Starting with https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/watchtower-study-august-2024/, they will no longer refer to their version of excommunication as disfellowshipped, but instead removed from the congregation. Stephen"Zap" (talk) 15:03, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
