Forget about licitness, this is where you are stumbling. Because the Church teaches an excom can go to confession or absolve sins, it is both valid and licit - always.

LICITNESS IS ALL YOU CAN USE!
Everybody can VALIDLY do that.

Because the Church teaches in an emergency that an excom can go to confession or absolve sins, it is licit - always.

You must be joking right? A protestant, according to OCAC IS a Catholic.

Please explain. I don't see how you get this.

I don't either but I wish he would start another thread on it. Prots were never Catholic to begin with so they're missing the first part; "once Catholic..."

Why do you accuse me when I am repeating Catholic Church teaching that an excom can validly and licitly be forgiven as well as absolve sins in the sacrament of confession. What is it that you dislike about this clear teaching that makes you need to ambiguate it with YOUR OWN exceptions consisting of varying levels of excom? Accept the teaching of the Church, do not label it a farce.

Astounding. That's all I will say.

No. You know no bounds.

You did not even look up what Licit means in canon law.

It is licit in cases of emergency, due to:
'Necessity makes licit what is illicit.' and 'The highest law is the salvation of Souls'
principles.
