your definition of excommunication is different than ours.

your definition is some sort of condemnation.

Excommunication means cutting one off from communion -- from community with the Church, which is the Body of Christ on earth. it's not a punishment, per se, but a protective measure. I feel that, in most cases, its use is an abuse of "authority."

Protective measure from what and whom is being protected?
