A legal mind like yours should be able to discern the difference between excommunication and arrest.
And you kinda sorta overlooked this:
Excommunication is a medicinal penalty of the Church. Its purpose is not necessarily to obtain justice or satisfaction but is meant to awaken an individual?s conscience to repentance (canon 1312 & 1331).
Also Excommunication is not a permanent state. This brand of grave sin, and any mortal sin, requires three conditions: It has to be a mortal sin, committed with full knowledge, and with deliberate consent.
Was your apostacy committed in such conditions? Given your "lack of awareness" of the irreversible consequences, I have my reservations. Maybe the Holy Spirit will enlighten you someday.
And there are people who do seek to deliberately desecrate the Holy Eucharist. I would die to prevent that from occurring.
Well, MichChamp, my friend - you?re fucked.
There is nothing you can do to prevent you from finally being blessed with redemption.
And also - don?t desecrate the Holy Eucharist - that?s just a dick move.
That would be like telling a granny in a wheelchair that she had saggy tits.
Also, in a lot of circumstances, it could be a misdemeanor.
Let?s say, for example, you took the Holy Host, and instead of putting it on your tongue, you dropped trow, and crammed it up your asshole in front of the whole congregation?
Almost surely at least a misdemeanor.
Maybe worse.
Maybe even a hate crime.
Don?t do that.
Excommunication isn?t worth that.
Just continue to curse God and religion and Catholicism right here on this board.
This is a safe space.
