Dear BlackElk,

The bishop involved was Archbishop Joseph Rummel. The future Cardinal Cody was the Archbishop-Coadjutor to Archbishop Rummel. Both men signed the letters which threatened excommunication. I believe that Archbishop Rummel alone signed the excommunications of the three miscreants, on April 16, 1962.

Sainted Archbishop Rummel died in 1964.

Sinkspur - was he wrong to publicly humiliate these people??

Not after ten years.

You expect O'Malley to act in ten minutes.

See #70. I have yielded on the identity of the New Orleans archbishop. Rummel was right to do what he did and the bringing of humiliation upon miscreants is a good idea for a bishop. It is far less painful for the politician than is eternity in hell.
