Fr. Roy Bourgeouis is threatened with excommunication

This makes me so sad.  I love Fr. Roy; he is the man responsible for the protest at the School of the Americas.  It takes place every year in November outside of Fort Benning; this year it will be held November 21-23.  Fr. Roy is a Maryknoll, and anyone familiar with the Catholic Church knows that Maryknoll and Jesuit are synonymous with bad ass.  Fr. Roy is being threatened with excommunication because of he supports women's ordination.  Fr. Roy is an awesome individual, and hopefully he won't recant and the Church will withdraw this complaint.  However, my aunt (Humility of Mary Sister) was accused of "not being a real Catholic" once and that is a difficult accusation to dodge especially if you don't want to take back actions.
