Noted: Excommunication Lifted for 3 in St. Louis

See? You can get un-excommunicated:

Three leaders of a former St. Louis parish who incurred excommunication for hiring a suspended priest have been reconciled with the Church.

According to a statement last week from the Archdiocese of St. Louis, Bernice Krauze, Stanley Rozanski and Robert Zabielski, members of the Board of Directors of St. Stanislaus Parish Corporation, met in June with Archbishop Raymond Burke to be reconciled fully with the Church.

"They are once again in full communion with the Catholic Church and are no longer under any censure," the archdiocese reported. (Zenit)

The Church takes far more joy in welcoming someone back from being excommunicated than excommunicating them in the first place (the only joy to be had in the first place is that the offender hopefully clearly understands the gravity of their offense and may then take the necessary steps to reconcile, as happened in this case).
