Fr. Roy exkommuniceras...?

Hittade en lite märkligt formulerad artikel i ämnet - men den ger ändå en glimt in i den nu pågående processen.

Det verkar som att den eventuella exkommuniceringen (p.g.a. hans öppna stöd för kvinnliga präster), äger rum först när Troskongregationen personligen har svarat på de brev som sänts in om Fr. Roy.

Även mitt brev??

"CNA spoke with an official of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith regarding the case of Fr. Bourgeois. The official reiterated that all procedures at the CDF are confidential. However, since Fr. Bourgeois decided to make public his letter to the Congregation, he said that "clearly the letter is a sad piece of propaganda and in no way expresses any doctrinal substance for his position."

"Rather, Fr. Bourgeois feels he can engage with the (CDF) to change the doctrine of the Church… quoting American newspapers as if they were a source of any kind of Catholic doctrine."

The official said that the formal excommunication will "certainly take place" as soon as the CDF "responds personally to the letters sent either supporting or denouncing (Fr. Bourgeois.)"

"Of course, Fr. Bourgeois could avoid excommunication at any point if he recants, but unfortunately all his latest actions do not seem to point in that direction," the official told CNA."

P.S. Tydligen läser Troskongregationen amerikanska tidningar noga... :-)
