US priest gets 30 days to recant over women's ordination
<http://www.cathnews.com/article.aspx?aeid=10114>http://www.cathnews.com/article.aspx?aeid=10114 Published: November 12, 2008 Emacs! The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has given American Maryknoll priest Fr Roy Bourgeois 30 days to recant his support for the ordination of women or face excommunication. The threat is revealed in a letter from Fr Bourgeois to the CDF distributed via an email from his lawyer Bill Quigley, National Catholic Reporter says. According to Bourgeois' letter, which is dated November 7, the congregation has given the priest 30 days to recant his "belief and public statements that support the ordination of women in our Church, or (he) will be excommunicated." The letter indicates that Fr Bourgeois received notification from the congregation on October 21. Fr Bourgeois attended the ordination of Janice Sevre-Duszynska in Lexingon, Kentucky in August and preached a homily. If he is excommunicated at the end of 30 days, that would come just before the Mass rally and protest against the US Army's School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia, that Fr Bourgeois has organised for 19 years.
