Yesterday I emailed the Catholic Diocese in Columbus. I asked them to remove me from the official rolls of Catholics.
Now, after having read up on it, they will instruct me to write an old fashioned letter to a Bishop. In this letter I have to state that I request to be removed from the rolls and that I am an apostate who has abandoned both the Catholic church and Christ himself.
At this point the Bishop ought to send this message up the ranks and then the church will excommunicate me on grounds of apostasy.
Anyone else go through this?
I just don't want anything at all to do with such a horrible organization. Being a atheist/"lapsed Catholic" is not distance enough. I want full excommunication.
