Nihil Obstat Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Are there any cases from the last... fifty years or so of a high profile politician being publically excommunicated or denied communion, or would this be unprecendented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, the man later repented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
