∙ 9y agoPeople committing grave sins causes excommunication. The most common cause of excommunication in the Church in the twenty-first century is abortion. Having an abortion, helping with an abortion, or providing money for an abortion, or even allowing an abortion (for a daughter, wife, etc.) are all causes for automatic excommunication. Another grave sin which is running a close second these days is leaving the Catholic Church and joining a protestant denomination, or just leaving the Church altogether and not joining anything. These are all grave sins that leave your soul in peril of hell, if you die unrepentant and unforgiven in confession.
