Roy Bourgeois threatened with excommunication

It's about time!
From the National UNCatholic Reporter we learn:

Maryknoll Fr. Roy Bourgeois has been threatened with excommunication by the Vatican's Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith for his support of women’s ordination, according to a letter made public today....

He apparently received notification from the Congregation on or about Oct. 21 and has 30 days to recant his “belief and public statements that support the ordination of women in our Church, or (he) will be excommunicated.”

As usual, St Louis' own group of heretics and schismatics, Catholic Action Network, has sent out an email notice to petition the Holy Father. This petition was started by the Women's ?Ordination? Conference. The text, in part, of the email is as follows:

On October 21, 2008, the Vatican sent a letter to the Maryknoll community stating that Fr. Roy Bourgeois, a Maryknoll priest of 36 years, has 30 days to recant his statement of public support of women's ordination or he will be automatically excommunicated.

Fr. Bourgeois co-presided and gave the homily during the ordination ceremony of Roman Catholic Womenpriest, Janice Sevre-Duszynska, which took place on August 9 in Lexington, Ky.

The Women's Ordination Conference has initiated a petition, with Roman Catholics Womenpriests and Call to Action as partners, to support Fr. Bourgeois. The petition will be sent to Pope Benedict XVI; the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith; Apostolic Nuncio to the U.S., Archbishop Pietro Sambi; and Maryknoll Superior General, John Sivalon. Please forward the petition link to your friends. In addition, we encourage you to send letters to the editor and op eds to your local papers.

What a group of malcontents and misguided souls...By the way, I will not post the petition link here...I will not be a party to the heresy embraced by these people - all of them should be excommunicated, shouldn't they?
