I want to say that I thought that someone could be excommunicated for saying certain things
that go against the church. I read that Martin Luther was excommunicated for going against the church,
partly because he was coming up with different ideals then what was “forced” upon him since he was a
catholic. The Pope told Luther to renounce what he wrote and posted against the church, and it took
several months later when the pope decided to actually excommunicate him from the church because
he didn’t listen to the pope. So, in some instances you can be excommunicated for saying things that
become “unpopular” according to church ideals. On small scale ways of thinking people are allowed to
say what they want but if what they say causes a large scale disruption then they should be deserving of
a large scale punishment. In certain cases, I feel that what I was taught in religion is being forced upon
myself instead of being what I choose to believe. Sometimes I think that no matter what religion you
belong to I feel that you are to believe in certain things but it also seems like I can’t incorporate new
ideas into my religion even if I think that some ideas aren’t correct in my eyes but I want be strong in my
religion but I want to try and believe in new ideals.
