also i have talked about this witch one of my local priets who also happens to be my confessor and he told me only the pope can excomunicate me and he doens’t seem to know about automatic excommunication however the cathegism seems to tell a diffrent story what am i to do if i where excomuicated i know that in america most priest have the autohority to lift those but i don’t know about my own country

thank you for your time God bless you
 
There are no thoughts that can get you automatically excommunicated.

Given your posting history, you need to avoid reading about things like that, and furthermore avoid posting your questions here. It will not help your scrupulosity. Seek the help of your priest.

well thats kind of the problem my priest doesn’t seem to know about automatic excommunication
 
This is right.

Sins which incur automatic excommunication that aren’t reserved are are remitted with confession and absolution, along with their excommunications. Excommunications brought about by reserved sins however, can only be remitted by the Pope.
 
Not all automatic excommunications can be lifted by a priest in confession. Sometimes it requires a bishop or even the Holy See.

Second, there are no sins of thought that lead to automatic excommunication. The OP has some struggles with scrupulosity and it is best not to continue this discussion.

To the OP, are you seeing a professional for your scruples?
