Vivian was excommunicated from the Catholic Church
After the hullabaloo regarding her race, Vivian also faced issues against her religion.
Soon after the finalization of her divorce from Johnny Cash, the Catholic Church excommunicated her. She wasn’t allowed to take communion. However, the official decision of the Church was changed after her ex-husband sent a letter to the archdiocese with all the tales of his failings as her husband.
Vivian was soon enough welcomed back by the Catholic Church.
