Catholic AnswerGreat heavens, no! The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. As such, it is here on earth to accomplish His Will, which is the salvation of everybody in the world throughout history. Excommunication is a very serious punishment which is reserved for very serious cases in order to bring people to their senses, so that they may be sorry for their sins, and turn back to God. The Church is not around to kill people, that would sort of be defeating the purpose of trying to save them, wouldn't it?
