Holy Ghost, of the Blessed Peter, Prince of the Apostles, and of
all the saints, in virtue of the power which has been given us of
binding and loosing in Heaven and on earth, we deprive N-- himself
and all his accomplices and all his abettors of the Communion of
the Body and Blood of Our Lord, we separate him from the society of
all Christians, we exclude him from the bosom of our Holy Mother
the Church in Heaven and on earth, we declare him excommunicated
and anathematized and [b]we judge him condemned to eternal fire
with Satan and his angels and all the reprobate, so long as he will
not burst the fetters of the demon, do penance and satisfy the
Church; we deliver him to Satan to mortify his body, that his soul
may be saved on the day of judgment.""
looks like damantion to hell.
So according to Vatican II, if any Catholic miss attending mass on
any of the 6 Days of Obligation...... Anathema.
