Vatican Comments on Excommunications
AP, Aug. 7, 2002

VATICAN CITY (AP) _ The seven women who claimed to have been recently ordained as priests were excommunicated because they had attacked the fundamental structure of the Catholic Church, a top official told Vatican Radio Tuesday.
The interview Tuesday with Archbishop Tarcisio Bertone, of the Vatican office that acts as a watchdog for doctrinal orthodoxy, was the first comment by a Vatican official since the excommunication was announced on Monday.
The seven women, from Germany, Austria and the United States, had defied an earlier Vatican warning to repent over their participation in a June 29 ceremony which they claimed made them priests.

One of the women, Christine Mayr-Lumetzberger, has described the excommunication as “a further act of discrimination against women in the Catholic Church.”
