Excommunication? Is There a Source?
Question
If someone is excommunicated by a religious court and does not come to have his excommunication lifted, does he after some amount of time also become excommunicated by Heaven? Is there such a thing? What does it mean? Sources?
Answer
I don’t understand terms like “excommunicated by Heaven,” and I understand even less how anyone could know such a thing.
