Palestinians, as well as some left-wing Jews, are being suspended from studies, fired from jobs, or arrested at night — all because of social media posts.

    Nothing. There are millions of lapsed Catholics and converts out of Catholicism. The church does not take action against them.

    Excommunication is meant for practicing Catholics. It means “You can’t take part in Catholic sacraments until you stop disagreeing with the church.”

    It is obviously pointless if someone already left the church. In fact, the people excommunicated most often - by far - are Catholic clergy who dissent about some matter of doctrine.
