Martin Luther was excommunicated. Therefore, he is roasting right along side of Judas.

Apparently, then, so is Marcel (+)Lefebvre.

...and on this topic... didn't the Church lift the excommunication of someone particularly well-known, post-mortem?

St. Joan of Arc, for instance

St. Joan was excommunicated by politicians.

But let's turn the question around.... if YOU want to think Judas is in Hell, can you prove that Christ's statement above is a revelation that specifically supports that claim?

...(playing devil's advocate for a minute)..

Yes. It's in the liturgy, in the fathers exegesis of scripture, in the fathers writings and in the catechism. Thus it's in Tradition, thus its in revelation.

Her bishop did that. One could argue that he was more of a politician....

Popes have unjustly excommunicated people too. Think of Julius II.

Are you saying that excommunication by a Pope or Bishop for just cause is just a joke. I'm not talking about excommunications done for political reasons or done for vindictive reasons.

Why are you worth talking to, as you cannot respond honestly?

Are you saying that excommunications are invalid?

Again, nothing I said remotely implied that

I was merely making a single point. Popes even have unjustly excommunicated people. It does not follow that excommunication is always unjust

You just love to argue. I said Martin Luther is in hell because he died excommunicated and all the rest of this is a result of that one comment.

After that happened, it does say that Judas repented.

But DS, if Luther is in hell it is not caused by his being excommunicated. It is caused by his actions that led to that. The existence of unjust excommunications should be enough to demonstrate that the act of excommunication itself does not consign anyone to hell

No, it doesn't. He was sorry, but he didn't repent.

Even if Luther had repented on his death bed he would have been damned. If the Pope didn't lift the excommunication there is no repentance.

Matthew 27:3
"When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented"

That's what my Bible says!

That's a bit of an odd translation. The usual Greek for "repent" in "metanoia," but the one here is "metamelomia," which is more along the lines of "regret" rather than "repent."

That is not true. For that matter, at his death bed any priest could absolve him of sins and the excommunication!
