  • Yes, Stubborn isn’t distinguishing between the various reasons for excommunication.  If a woman gets an abortion, she’s excommunicated but if she’s still practicing the Faith, she’s still a member.  If someone like Martin Luther is excommunicated for heresy AND THEN STOPS PRACTICING THE FAITH, he is obviously not a member anymore.  Faith is required for membership, as multiple popes have said.

    That's your opinion. The Fathers did not teach any such thing - per Suarez.
    "But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men." - Acts 5:29

    The Highest Principle in the Church: "We are first of all under obedience to God, and only then under obedience to man" - Fr. Hesse

  • :facepalm:  Suarez mentions excommunication.  Heresy is another matter which he didn’t mention.  You’re falsely expanding his comments.

  • What we know for sure is that Fr. Martin Luther died a Catholic priest: "Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech."

    The indelible mark of the Sacrament of Baptism on our soul is just as ineradicable as that of Holy Orders.
    That's what I was taught.

    That's right, he mentions excommunication, all I did was quote what he said.

  • Suarez didn’t say that heretics are still members.
