Cuomo elected himself Bishop over Cardinal Dolan and excommunicated faithful Catholics from New York. This is what happens when you keep distributing the Eucharist to openly defiant public figures. Card Dolan could have and should now put New York City under an interdict, until such time as Cuomo openly repents and apologizes publicly to all Catholics for his ridiculous and dangerous remarks. Look for a return of the Know Nothings and Catholic Churches being torched and burned now. An interdict is a censure, or prohibition, excluding the faithful from participation in certain holy things. These holy things are all those pertaining to Christian worship, and are divided into three classes: *the Divine offices, in other words the Liturgy, and in general all acts performed by clerics as such, and having reference to worship *the sacraments, excepting private administrations of those that are of necessity; *ecclesiastical burial, including all funeral services. This prohibition varies in degree, according to the different kinds of interdicts to be enumerated: First, interdicts are either local or personal; the former affect territories or sacred buildings directly, and persons indirectly; the latter directly affect persons. Canonical authors add a third kind, the mixed interdict, which affects directly and immediately both persons and places; if, for instance, the interdict is issued against a town and its inhabitants, the latter are subject to it, even when they are outside of the town (arg. cap. xvi, De sent. excomm. in VI).
