Hi, guys —
I am sedevacantist.
I believe a new church was created after 1958. The Catholic Church is in eclipse. Although I am not in a Vatican II church, administratively there are some ties. I can't get an excommunication.
- Do you have any suggestions?

Hi, John —
You'll be pleased to know that you are already latae sententae excommunicated under the Code of Canon Law, Canon 1364 as a schismatic.
This does not however make you not a Catholic; there is no canonical way to undo that.
(You're a few years too late, sorry).
Have fun!

Hey Eric,
I love that answer. Solid with a twist of humor:
. . . there is no canonical way to undo that.
(You're a few years too late, sorry).
Have fun! |
Though I don't understand you're a few years too late.

Mike,
You used to be able to canonically leave the faith or at least, for purposes of marriage, no longer be subject to Catholic form, by formally renouncing your faith but Pope Benedict changed that, and there is no longer a canonical way to escape, so to speak.
