So, how can one part of the Body of Christ decide that
it's okay to shun another part of the Body of Christ, simply because they disagree with them in matters of the head?[/i]
Give me an example of who is denying who and for what? It's impossible to reply without such specifics.
Also, some of your messages needs more nuancing. Following your logic to the extreme, one could say that no one is denying anything to anyone if all are already the body of Christ. I'm sure you're speaking of the Eucharist, however, but that's not the same thing as the presence of Christ in one's heart or in the community, etc.
