CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR CONTINUES TO DEFY HIS BISHOP

Bishop says Grey Davis "obviously doesn't understand the faith"

CALIFORNIA, January 28, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The National Catholic Register reports today that California Bishop William Weigand is considering formally forbidding governor Gray Davis from receiving Communion if Davis doesn't change his mind on the abortion issue.

The Register quotes the bishop: "We're studying that right now. That time could come. That time could be very near, especially with his statements that say he doesn't have to give one inch. He has manifested publicly a hardness of heart - an in-your-face hardness of heart response."

The California governor insists he will continue to receive church sacraments regardless of what his bishop has declared about his defacto excommunication.
