- Whether a man who is excommunicated or suspended can excommunicate another?
Whether a man who is excommunicated or suspended can excommunicate another?
Objections
❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that one who is excommunicated or suspended can excommunicate another. For such a one has lost neither orders nor jurisdiction, since neither is he ordained anew when he is absolved, nor is his jurisdiction renewed. But excommunication requires nothing more than orders or jurisdiction. Therefore even one who is excommunicated or suspended can excommunicate.
❌ Objection 2 : Further. it is a greater thing to consecrate the body of Christ than to excommunicate. But such persons can consecrate. Therefore they can excommunicate.
