Ken,

Excommunication does not consign one to Hell but merely removes them from the {community/safety} of the Church. Kind of like a scofflaw being put out of a boat. You may drown or you may not, but you ought to think about how to get back in the boat.

So, only God can condemn. The Church can only remove someone from the community in hopes that they will repent and return to the Way.

And yes, some of the anathemas have been lifted.

Peace,

Bob Kirby
