I think the Australian case, as in Fr Tissa's, was one of the CDF stating that excommunication had been incurred latae sententiae, with publication of said decree being personally approved by the Holy Father.<br /><br />According to <a href="http://ncronline.org/news/global/australian-priest-advocate-womens-ordination-excommunicated" rel="nofollow">this article</a>, reason was given: <br /><br /><i>The letter, a copy of which NCR obtained and translated, accuses Reynolds of heresy (Canon 751) and determined he incurred latae sententiae excommunication for throwing away the consecrated host or retaining it "for a sacrilegious purpose" (Canon 1367). It also referenced Canon 1369 (speaking publicly against church teaching) in its review of the case.</i>claudenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-91455305465803867432013-09-25T09:19:17.584+01:002013-09-25T09:19:17.584+01:00PS, I love Owlie!

The cause for excommunication was that he had married a non-Catholic divorcee in a civil ceremony. I am not sure whether it was an official excommunication with the Bishop's imprimatur, or whether it was more of a casual pronouncement from a parish priest, "best not to come to Communion any more (until your wife seeks an annulment on her previous marriage and you remarry in The Church"). But for about 40 years he was denied Holy Communion. He still attended Mass regularly. The excommunication was eventually lifted by one kindly priest, who saw his faith. I'm assuming the priest sought permission from his Bishop first. Hope so! <br /><br />Hey, Chihuahuas look like Chihuahuas on the outside but are Rottweilers on the inside! ;-) Roses and Jessaminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17382837693414491679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-91938778633489776732013-09-24T12:36:19.640+01:002013-09-24T12:36:19.640+01:00It would be great if we could get a copy of the ex...It would be great if we could get a copy of the excommunication document, adapt it, get a good forger to forge Francis's signature and send copies to the usual suspects, Pepminster, Tina Beattie, the ACTA folks etc<br /><br />What larks when a bull of excommunication drops through their letter box!johnfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233791349837340770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-89374548632127984702013-09-23T20:11:20.025+01:002013-09-23T20:11:20.025+01:00You are right to link the excommunication with tha...You are right to link the excommunication with that of SSPX. What liberals and ultra trads have in common is a rejection of the Hermeneutic of Continuity as taught by Pope Benedict and Pope Francis. The liberals and the trads both reject Vatican II! a nice symmetry.

Maybe, Rome just got fed up with the vacillation and decided to smite.<br /><br />I hope that whoever composed the letter of excommunication got the Latin correct. I recall that when ++Archbishop Lefevre was excommunicated, his staff later claimed with a certain amount of glee that the Vatican had made a mistake in the grammar.johnfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16233791349837340770noreply@blogger.com
