Who says the Church doesn't enforce things anymore...

I find this interesting little article while browsing the news services today...

Though the priest stopped practicing in 1999, it is still interesting to see that there are still heresy trials going on. They interview Jimmy Akin from Catholic Answers, who, and I totally agree, says that this is supposed to be medicinal, for the person to realize what they've done and come back to the fold. I think this will be unlikely with this priest, however. Interesting none the less, since excommunication and heresy trials are not so common anymore (or at least we don't hear of them as much when they do happen).
