In every case of excommunication, the one on trial is not regarded by the church as losing their priesthood. They are instead requested to temporarily stop using it. Inside the church itself, they are not permitted to use it. But it is up to the individual to decide whether or not to use it in other circumstances. . . . Every other Apostle who was excommunicated was similarly readmitted without being re-ordained. No one is re-ordained when re-baptized. Their original ordination stands. Excommunicants are only requested to not use their priesthood. But they still possess it.
