The Diocese of Livorno in northwest Italy said Jan. 1 that Fr. Ramon Guidetti had violated canon 751 of the Code of Canon Law at a Mass on New Year's Eve at his parish of San Ranieri in Guasticce, with his "refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff and of communion with the members of the Church subject to him."
The diocese said that Livorno's Bishop Simone Giusti had issued a decree declaring that the 48-year-old priest had, as a result of committing the schismatic act, incurred latae sententiae excommunication.
Latae sententiae excommunication, often called "automatic excommunication," is a medicinal penalty incurred by the offender at the moment that Church law is violated, rather than at the end of a canonical process.
However, while canon law provides such "automatic" penalties for certain grave crimes, primarily those committed against the faith or the Church itself, for the full effects of those penalties to become operative, a competent ecclesiastical authority must declare that the penalty was incurred.
Comment: It has been clearly established that masks DO NOT protect you from the coronavirus, in fact they may be hazardous to your health by breeding a plethora of bacteria and reducing the oxygen supply to the brain. After four years it's hard to believe that these mask mandates can still be implemented.
