Aloysius Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 i'm no expert.. but it's like seperated from the Church.. i'm pretty sure it was used in the NT. anyway, when it is used to proclaim a doctrine that doctrine is automatically infallible because it is making full use of the keys to the kingdom, that if anyone does not believe such doctrines they are not fully within the gate.

ironmonk Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 anathema: A Greek word with the root meaning of cursed or separated and the adapted meaning of excommunicated. Used in Church documents, especially the canons of ecumenical councils, to condemn heresy and practices opposed to proper discipline. If this is in reference to something you picked up from a non-Catholic site, book, or person... Look it up from a Catholic source.
