It'll depend, really. Anything from "okay, won't happen again" to "I had an intervention, we all sat down and talked, I willfully took the ban for (period of time)", etc.
For me, the more tangibly serious the act, the more must be done to rectify it. Even then, it doesn't always end in cure.

There are plenty of possible answers to your question, but none of them are accurate. You haven't given a premise to it, beyond "this guy sinned".
...
Yes, and?

I mean... What did this hypothetical guy do?

There is an odd deference to their learned experience over the lived experience of the patient.
Ideally, the two are mixed, but I see - too often - a leaning to the former over, if not completely above, the latter.
Absolute madness.

The phrase, "ok Boomer" is a slang, but just calling someone that isn't really new. Referring to someone by his generation is some decades old, now.

Like, take out "sure thing unc" and you've got the native, everlasting "sure thing grandpa", "can it, boomer".

It's not uncommon for kids to adopt heard slang, for funsies. There was a ton of this sort of talk when I was younger, too, but it's treated less as a permanent method of speech and more "a funny way to say X" that becomes unpopular years later.

If this guy wrote about the Old Greek, instead of a random English translation, he'd have a good point.
"ὅτι οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ἀλλ᾽ εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν, καὶ εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται; —καθαρίζων πάντα τὰ βρώματα."
The "()" isn't there.

I think you're mistaking whatever this is for the Council of Jerusalem, where the Apostles went to meet with St. Peter, because he was converting pagans to Hebrewism, and then converting them to Christianity.
If not, then this "letter" thing never happened.

Like, the "heresy" you're talking about needs to be so massive that people wrote against it.
The earliest thing that comes to mind, beyond that barbarity called Gnosticism, were the New Hebrews that called the Apostles "fools" or just presumed that St. Matthew's Gospel was "the only good one".

Second, I don't know what "schism" or "heresy" you're talking about.
Schisms didn't happen in this era because these off-kilter groups didn't have bishops to "break away" from anything. They were often just random guys trying to make some cash (Gnostics) or very crazy Pharisees.

You misunderstand the name.
The "Orthodox-Catholic faith" *is* the Christian faith -- the "Proper and Whole". That's just what we're called.
What you're describing - this "Church-led domination of women", or whatever, literally never happened.
You'll find problematic bishops, sure. That's normal.

If you wish to just point at off-putting verses for shock value, by all means, be my guest.
But, when it comes to doctrine, both you and the author of that post don't know how they were implemented by the Orthodoxy (nor Catholicism). Maybe the 1950s USA, but that's not the "Church". Never was.

Like, the article, verbatim, just says that these seem off when read at face value.
Yes. That's why a priest reads them and instructs the people regarding its meaning, in the liturgy. That's by design. It's there because you can get instructions about life therefrom.
comment in response to

Your article says, more or less, the same thing that I did:
"Telling me that read in their cultural context, we can find liberation rather than oppression in the writing of Paul. I agree with you."
I'm not sure what "Church" is being referenced, because the author isn't clear.
comment in response to

In case you wonder, Orthodoxy has plenty of these. There are tons of older laws that we *can* use, but often don't; the circumstances aren't the same.
We just keep them on-hand because priests need to know how to administrate their flocks and we'd rather not reinvent the wheel.

It's a canon -- that is, it's a method of a bishop solving a particular problem at that particular time. Women chat in liturgies nowadays because that perspective -- women being incapable of understanding things -- has been done away with.
comment in response to
post
I presume that the other guy is talking about 1 Cor. 14:34.
In that era, women would just sit in the back and chat, because pagan priests (in this era) considered women "intellectually incapable" of understanding the mysteries. St. Paul rejects this, saying that they are to listen as the men do.
comment in response to

It's an interesting perspective with no backing anywhere.
Women are allowed to (and often do, tbh) teach in seminary. They're not allowed to become priests, just as priests can't get married after ordination.
The role is not something "anyone at all!" can do.
comment in response to
post
Could you elaborate how St. Paul, lacking central authority (or really that much in this era), managed to unite the Orthodox-Catholic faith on the matter of women not being priests?
comment in response to

Yeah.

Sounds right. Most of the students I've taught were only in East Asia (India, China). They'd ask to have an English name usually to avoid the issues in spelling/pronouncing their name (i.e. Saorabh to something else, because nobody's saying it right for some time).

I live in a place where the state controls IP and patents.
It is a damn nightmare. Your ability to work and things produced can be taken away at literally any point, and you combatting it is virtually impossible.
The youth have opted to leave the country in droves over matters like this.

The alternative is a system where the state owns all published works & they won't give them all away for free, either. A lot fewer will ever see the light of day under that system.
You can argue for a system that reduces the cut publishers & distributors take, but it's a real cost.

Funnily enough, this is the first time I've heard of any Asian having a name that is English in origin (while not asking for one).
...
Then again, Asia has a lot of people. Not too surprised.
