Do you know why the Amish girl was excommunicated? Too Mennonite. Christopher Hitchens v Alister McGrath, debate Georgetown University Washington 2007
When thou, poor excommunicate
From all the joys of love, shalt see
The full reward and glorious fate
Which my strong faith shall purchase me,
Then curse thine own inconsistency. Thomas Carew
In the winter of 1520 Luther finally received the bull of excommunication from Rome. Martin Luther II: The Reluctant Revolutionary PBS 2002
You are either with us or against us. We hereby impose an excommunication upon that heretic apostate Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere. We ask for your support in this most solemn declaration. We demand your compliance. The Borgias: Death on a Pale Horse s1e7, Rodrigo to Cardinals, Showtime 2011
But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler – not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves. I Corinthians 5:11-13
