To paraphrase what Pope Pius XII wrote in his encyclical “The Mystical Body of Christ” There is one baptism, it makes someone a Catholic, and if seconds after they are baptized they fall into error by accepting the teachings of Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Westley or any other man who founded a Protestant Church they are separated from full communion.[/quote:3j7dt5dj]
Hypothetically speaking, if I were a Catholic for one, two, maybe even 10 years and then discovered the teachings of either Luther, Calvin or any protestant denomination and I upheld those beliefs, did I just removed myself from the Catholic Church without a formal rite of Excommunication? If so, am I condemned to hell?
