excommunication in other churches
Is there a church out there, or even any social organization, that calls excommunication primarily "an act of love"?
Is this something unique to Mormonism? |

My question was is there any official statement from "the" church calling it an act of love. |

So Texite mullahs exist in other faiths. How comforting.

Tex, calls it loving as often as he cans. He considers himself the ultimate authority, so you don't need to look any further.

And if you were a leader wishing to keep the masses in check, wouldn't you rely upon divine authority?
