Correct interpretation of 1 Corinthians 5:1-8

The wiki currently states "In 1 Corinthians 5:1-8, a man is excommunicated by the church at Corinth for sexual immorality (incest)." This is unfotrunately incorrect. Contextually the text is written from a distant authour to the Corinthian church. The author advocates a passage of excommunication yet is not able to communicate in the letter that the excommunication arose. There seems to be solid evidence that the excommunication did arise (the later reference to the excimmunication in the wiki in respect to the 2nd Corintinian letter provides evidence).

It would be more correct to state that "On being directed by the author of the 1st letter to the Corinthians, in 1 Corinthians 5:1-8, the Corithinian church excommunicated one of their members for sexual immorality (incest)".Ozhamada (talk) 01:51, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I hope my correction is satisfactory. Esoglou (talk) 08:11, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Original research

Today's edits are a good example of original research. I do not see how the Latin quote provided can be construed to say that one is "no longer Catholic" upon excommunication. It speaks of the external bond of unity. Furthermore, several valid reliable secondary sources were removed which assert the opposite of what is claimed by 72.165.165.178 (talk · contribs) in his edits, so I would ask for a revert or at least a justification of the assertions with proper sourcing to back them up. Elizium23 (talk) 22:32, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Major excommunication

If the distinction vitandus/toleratus is obsolete, there tills seems to be something called a "major excommunication". [1] the last lines. --90.236.141.65 (talk) 18:05, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
