Talk:Excommunication

Organization
This article is very long, due mostly to detailed descriptions of procedures in the Catholic, LDS, Jehovah's Witness, and Christadelphian faiths. What would everyone think of splitting those into separate articles, and leaving only brief summaries here? 174.52.198.8 (talk) 07:46, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Major excommunication
If the distinction vitandus/toleratus is obsolete, there tills seems to be something called a "major excommunication". the last lines. --90.236.141.65 (talk) 18:05, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The distinction is made in the Eastern Catholic Churches, not in the Latin Church. Perhaps someone else will continue the work I have begun on the differences.  Esoglou (talk) 21:19, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Possible details set aside, the Easterners call major excommunication what we call an excommunication and minor excommunication what we call an interdict (or, in the old law, a personal interdict).--131.159.0.2 (talk) 13:32, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Step 5
The Reformed churches section cites Jay E. Adams about "Step 5" while not explaining what is meant with it. The previous paragraph mentions only 3 steps. Bever (talk) 23:57, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Scientology?
This article should include the related practices of Scientology - eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disconnection_(Scientology), and declarations that dissenters or apostates are "Suppressive Persons".
