*The Bavarian lawyer stands.*

The Count of Venice is right to be concerned about excommunication. I would like to remind all members of this Diet that the enacted Charter Amendment 6.7 specifically requires a 2/3 majority vote of the Diet before any decision that can lead to excommunication can be made. This Amendment specifically supersedes the Household Armies amendment and the right of the Chancellor or Dukes to declare war on enemies within their lands. Therefore anyone who undertakes an act which results in excommunication without first receiving the consent of 2/3 of this Diet will surely be subject to the fullest prosecution of the law by this very Diet. I believe this, combined with the Reich's sincere desire to remain in communion with the Church, will be more than enough to prevent any such thing form occurring again.
