Is "Conservative" Peters a Fraud who apparently claims Hitler couldn't be Excommunicated because Mass Murder isn't a Heresy?
Did lawyer Chris Ferrara just expose "conservative" canon lawyer Ed Peters or canon law to be a fraud? Peters apparently claims in his canon law defense of Andrew Cuomo that if the mass murderer Adolf Hitler had been a Catholic he couldn't have been excommunicated. It appears either Peters or canon law maybe a fraud in which words are meaningless if even Hitler couldn't be excommunicated. To prove this we simply are going to substitute Hitler's name for Cuomo's name in Ferrara's exposure of Peters: "According to Peters, Hitler's promotion of mass murder in the womb... the Fifth Commandment... is not heresy... 'a divinely revealed object of belief.'" "Since, Peters argues, one must show... 'that Hitler's words and/or actions canonically suffice to prove his doubt or denial of an object of belief'... Hitler cannot strictly speaking, be excommunicated for heresy without more proof than his mere authorization
