So I have a question-Is someone considered excommunicated because they joined another church and worked at that church but decided to return to Catholicism? Just wondering what the process is for returning.
 
Just come back and talk to a priest. The door is always open. I’ve returned after a nearly 20 year absence and it’s been great. I never should have left.

Still waiting on the annulment decision before I can participate in confession. I didn’t know if I was considered excommunicated or not but from what I’ve read I’m not.
 
I was born into a Catholic family, became Mormon as a teen, then back to Catholic church in my 30’s.

Easy peasy. I don’t think one is excommunicated for that.

Not to derail the thread, but, what attracted you to Mormonism?

You will have to speak to your pastor about your individual situation, perhaps in the context of confession.
 
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what someone could be excommunicated for pre-Vatican II? It’s a matter of personal interest.

I was a teenager from a very dysfunctional home with an alcoholic parent. The Word of Wisdom solved a crisis for me.

Living the WoW was a great blessing in my life at the time. It kept me from becoming an alcoholic as well. Never had a drink until I was in my 30’s. In other words, I was a mature adult and had no need to do the wild partying teenagers do these day, or in those days as well.
